I tried to reach out, and I feel bitten by the response.

Am I being sensitive, or is my interpretation appropriate?

I thought it might help to collaborate on what features are useful etc, but I feel like all my design decisions are being rejected, and that nothing I have done would or could be good. The only good thing he had to say - "It is very good that you tried to find all cases in which History.js (or maybe browser history API) works not as it should work." seems to be implying - "good try, but your solution sucks". And then it seems he just wants me to spend time explaining what is wrong - but I don't want spend time to understand it for him - well, more so because I feel like my competence is being questioned.

Well I think if you want someone to make changes to their open source project it's up to you to explain what changes you'd like or what doesn't work (or better, a pull request!) rather than just referring to a 3 page post. I don't think I'd read into his responses what you've read, but that's easy to do, and I can see how some of your responses could come across the wrong way too.

And sometimes different projects have differences of opinion on approach, dependencies etc. That's OK!
