May I gently suggest that calling people names is not
a particularly good way to motivate volunteer maintainers
to change a program to act the way you would like it
to act?

And besides being rude, the word you chose is a slur
against a whole of people who are the way they are
through no fault of their own.  Such words have no
place in public discourse.
