Problems with deprecations of islower, lowercase, isupper, uppercase

It is unfortunate that you construe a technical discussion as something impinging on your professional reputation as a “guru”.

The specific part that I felt was damaging to my reputation, was the comment by Stefen, which is totally false:

Like I said, we tried it @ScottPJones’s way for two years and it has truly awful ergonomics for real-world data processing – this is not hypothetical or just my opinion, the data ecosystem has been struggling with it badly.

I believe he needs to retract that statement, and own up to the responsibility for the architecture of strings in v0.3.x and v0.4.x, his sweeping changes in v0.5.x/v0.6.x, and the even further changes in master.
