Well if you look at the fist post i think i asked it really nicely, and your nicest reply was quote:

and i wouldnt think that, that was your greatest accomplishment, as i said i could do it my self BUT foolish me i wanted to enhance your plugin, and being that your plugin is majorly used by developers, i thought it was a mischief to work OnLY when you are online AND have an online contact to send the message, that is very restrictive, so i dfecided to write a workaround to remove this restriction, and if you feel so strongly about it, then i will write the whole file from scratch...
It is a common use that you don't touch other people's programs, even if the intensions are good. You ask it first and you state what you wanna do with it. I don't know about what is being asked in private or what not, but maybe if you explained what you wanted to do (like you just did), his reaction would have been different
If an original author doesn't want you to play with/enhance his programs that should be respected...

That's exactly the same as 'stealing' (or maybe slithly worse as a compiled program is obviously made because the author doesn't want to share the source)
