In the case of the pkgcore bug, there was an objective statement of the fact that a bug existed, including simple instructions for reproducing it (which were dismissed by a certain person claiming he had already done so and found no bug - clearly a lie). In the case of PMS, we have vague ad-hominems - not even "complaints about the non-clarity", which in any case would be highly subjective, but just a shrill "inacceptable". > The problem is that this hasn't been the only case.

The pkgcore was (or should have been) highly obvious to anyone who had so much glanced at the offending code. > It's not just pkgcore either, it's two of the three current PMs having > problems, with the "One True Way" that everyone with any sense must > /surely/ see is superior (or so it seems the thought is) gets filed a bug > (or patch) yet if met with any criticism as well, from the same folks > that it's like pulling teeth from to get any info from them.
