Completely disagree with you on that, he comes across as someone who is tired of always being asked the same questions, who does work to solve the problem and is frustrated that a lot of people are unappreciative of Kovid's work. Given how much criticism and entitled requests opensource maintainers have to deal with, it's not a surprise to me that he'd be tired. But I do think that he is still well reasoned in the way he expresses himself.
