I think you're missing the point. The point is quite simply, you shouldn't 
have to agree with me, but you should at least listen to what I say. The 
question is to do with respecting of my ideas, both as an end-user, and as a 
member of the KDE community. I don't see your role as being Kmail's gate-
keeper. I see your role as being a listener to ideas and opinions, and having 
the common-sense to be able to say "OK, i don't necessarily agree with what 
this person is proposing, but there might be an idea worth implementing for 
the good of the end-users." By me asking for the possibility to separate email 
addresses is really not a silly idea. Outlook, Apple mail, etc do this by 
default. If I wrote a feature request asking for kmail to default to a pink 
colour scheme with purple unicorns, i would expect you to use the intelligence 
that you have, and say 'no'.

My only "fault" in all this is to request a feature that so many other email 
clients use. When you wrote and explained to me, that there was a reason why 
we have multiple 'To:' boxes, I didn't rubbish your thoughts, or your 
explanation. I took it onboard, listened to your reasons, and I came up with 
what I believe to be a reasonable compromise so that we could both have a 
solution. To be told by someone else that this is 'an exotic feature that is 
only useful to your workflow" is rude, unnecessary, and unhelpful. 

Do you know that just like you, I really, really like kmail. It's so much 
better than Thunderbird, and just like you I want it to succeed.  It's the 
only mail client that I have on my openSUSE TW box, it's the only one that I 
actually want to use. We have common-ground, I would just like us to build on 
that, and to build a successful solution that works for all of us. To engage 
with each other, and to challenge each other is great! To basically piss on my 
ideas, because people don't believe in them is not democratic, fair, helpful, 
or professional.
