It's a good thing to have strong opinions. It sucks to *insult*
people, especially those involved in a community project.

What is true on the forums is nonsense on the bugtracker?

Then you should keep this private.

I probably would if I knew who it was or which bugs are affected. So I
don't know if he is really just insulting - of course there are such
people - or if he has a reason to be angry. I had some reasons in the
past.

Please ask the guy the same question.


OK. Lets stop this nonsense.

We, as developers and the admin for the bugtracker, can deal with this 
without your opinions.

I don't know about whom and which bug you're talking, so I don't want
to say too much. But there have indeed been more than one bugs in the
past (assigned to one certain developers) which have been closed at
once as invalid even if they indeed have been reproducible bugs. And I
was relative unfriendly told to give more informations about e.g.
possibly affected drivers etc. which I already had given in the
original bug report.

In the meantime there was another developer who has closed a well known
bug report and denied to reopen it with only an inexplicable reason.
This bug is still a known upstream bug.

Such an inappropriate bug handling happened four times in the meantime.

So could this be the reason why the person who you're talking about is
angry? Are those not accepted bugs really not downstream bugs? I already
started a thread about the inappropriate behaviour resp. bad attitude
of some - not all - developers in flyspray in the past.

Just ignoring him is not the way to handle it unless you have talked to
the person and know that he is just insulting without a reason.
