I do not refractor a lot, while I still maintain a PHP 5.6 hand made app. When I do refractor, I notice the time I will spend on is definitively related to the quality of the code I am maintaining. If the previous developer mind was clear, the code will be, and the refractor will make a lot of sense while not being hard to walk through the code. Just my feeling about it.
That makes sense! Refactoring can also come when the code is good, but you want to upgrade to more modern techniques. For example, converting from ES5 to ES6 JavaScript. Of course, you should't refactor if you don't have a good reason to!
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse

Thanks for gathering those resources James 🤓
