This makes me ๐Ÿ˜ญ

UPDATE: Thanks @[email protected] for this update: The issue has now been commented on and was closed by the maintainer, where they explained why those blocks would be nonsense. But it appears the OP wants to still talk with maintainer privately about it.

OK simplelogin you can make an argument there, very stupid one though.

Fuck this shit.
