No, thanks. I don't tolerate rudeness. My case is closed.

PDFium exists and my components already use it.

Again, this is not rude at all. You should get a dictionary and search for the meaning of the words you intend to say before you type them (this last sentence was deliberately rude so you can see the difference between the comments)

If I ask a question out of curiosity and the developer makes baseless assumptions of criminal conduct and forwards me to some clueless assistant instead, it's very, extremely, utterly rude!

No one needs to put up with such treatment. We have alternatives that are leagues ahead.

No it's not. That is not the definition of rudeness. If it told you to fuck off, then thats rude, but if it told you that they will take legal action against you, then that is not rude, simple as.

He can't do anything against me. I was simply looking for a WASM PDF renderer. I have not touched their sources with a pole. They had just removed WASM support from their public repository. I did ask the developer why. He then used my email domain to go visit my website and jump to conclusions all without asking me!!! Now I am old enough to have a working definition of rudeness and it is not artificially narrow. I responded to his secretary and asked for an apology, got nothing in return except the dev admitting he thought I was young and ignorant.

I then helped with the PDFium WASM builds instead: https://github.com/paulocoutinhox/pdfium-lib/issues?q=is%3Ai...

Your link uses `author @me` which is why I don't see anything.

Here is what is in the search box: `is:issue author:@me`

Yes, it is.

It's not?
