feedvalidator.org turned into a biased and untrustworthy resource

I don't like the idea that this particular feed validator flags and calls
our namespace "unknown" and marks it up --indicating-- an error and
--implying-- something is wrong with it. If the code is well-formed leave it
alone and quit playing elitist asshole politics unless you have a
methodology to determine and test the XML namespace for VALIDITY not its
POPULARITY NO DIFFERENT THAN ASSHOLE POLITICIANS DO TO CAST ASPERSIONS ON
COMPETITION.

Secondly, marking up the results of one of the feeds my software generates
as an error to notify and advise the use of an atom:link is also an
underhanded way to recommend what you believe should be done regardless of
the veracity of what you contend. Marking my work up as an error?

Why are you are spray painting yellow graffiti on my work?
