What goal would be achieved by willful obstruction?  You are talking
about volunteer work on a style not useful to the person working on it.
Putting aside for a moment that those changes were actually suggested by
yourself, why should anybody bother with integrating your work and
having it distributed as part of LilyPond when they get called names for
maintaining your contribution?

LilyPond depends on volunteers, and a primary motivation for volunteers
is that the work is fun to do.  If the maintenance of some contribution
exposes volunteers repeatedly to insults, we are better off removing
that contribution than allowing it to contribute to a toxic work
environment driving more contributors away than it will draw in new
users.

Please try to do your part in keeping LilyPond pleasant to work with and
to work on.

Thank you
