alt Hacker NewsI really wonder how maintainers get pressured into merging stuff? If they did not want to merge in the first place while having to argue with someone pushing their PR I'd immediately close the PR. Arguing and pressuring people is not a way to contribute to projects, why do maintainers even argue with people?

Some people are very susceptible to bullying even if they’re in the position of power.

Have you read the PR discussion?

That makes it look like you're too stupid to understand the PR.
Edit: I see this comment getting downvoted. To be clear, I was trying to explain why someone would want to merge a PR without going through all of it, I didn't mean to call such people stupid.

Because they don't want to be seen like assholes, who just blindly dismiss PRs, and because they take the technical discussion about the PR in good faith.
