Thanks to those who have made supportive comments. Let me clarify my position on some points.
I do not object to constructive criticism of EdSharp or other projects. I have not abandoned it either. I try to be responsive to suggestions and bug reports.
I think this list is intended to be supportive to blind programmers. The type of remarks that Tyler has been making are not constructive: they are putdowns. I have repeatedly asked him for code he said he wrote that fixed a problem, and he has still not sent it to me. It is difficult doing all the things that go into an open source application, and I am sure that all my projects have weaknesses. Simply making insulting jabs without constructive engagement is not what any member of this list deserves.
Tyler has not asked me questions about aspects of the code he does not understand. In general, he has not given me specific steps to replicate a problem, even when asked. I suggest that his programming career will have more potential of support from others if he starts treating others more respectfully and acting more collaboratively. 

Jamal
