May I remind you that the first reaction of John is being rude to anyone
who isn't a native speaker?

That is absolutely not true. I have reviewed this current thread and I do not
see any instance of rudeness on my part.

As I have explained *most* people appreciate it when offerred corrections - be
it code, language or whatever. I certainly appreciate corrections of my
mistakes,

Do you ? You are fiercely fighting a correction that has been offered to you by ng0 and by mantainers too.

Corrections are not about linguistics or programming langages only. There are community (people) issues too.

and on occassion people have taken the time to thank me for the time
I take to correct theirs.

Well, this is not the case, is it ?

That is what collaboration is about. You have
explicitly asked me not to correct you - and I respect that request - I will not
do so in future. However, if I see you giving erroneous advice to a third party
I may interject with my own opinion.

In so doing, you would be actively assaulting a member of this community.

I'm sorry that you feel this way.

No, you're not

I would still like to work with you - and
that means I appreciate constructive criticism from anyone, about anything.

Plenty of constructive critism iis being offered, here, and you seem to be belligerent against it

On the only basis that the criticism is not about language.

For example, we don't often speak German in Guix, but if we were to do so,
I would be very grateful to you, as a native German speaker, if you would correct
me when I make a grammatical mistake.

Well, other people is not being grateful, here
