<p>Nick, stop sending patches and emails. Go talk to someone in real life, have them to look at the emails and talk to them about it. <br>
Talk to someone that understands your communication style and can explain these things to you in a way that you can understand it. You are making things worse by trying to contact people that you have annoyed.</p>
<p>Step away from the computer and talk to someone in real life because none of the emails and suggestions people have given seem to be helping you.</p>
