You can't quit can you?

Many developers, such as Phillip (and myself) are volunteers and are doing our 
best to help make Ubuntu better.  Hostile behavior such as yours makes Ubuntu 
development a lot less enticing as a way to spend my free time.  It's also 
highly correlated in my experience with people who can be safely ignored.

Not only is it counter productive to your immediate goal of getting a bug 
looked at (I actually looked at the bug in question and gave up because it was 
too painful to read), but it compromises you ability more generally to be an 
effective member of the Ubuntu community.

http://www.ubuntu.com/about/about-ubuntu/conduct is not just a set of empty 
platitudes.  It's an essential set of guidance to making a global scale 
project such as Ubuntu work.  Please review it and consider how to align your 
interactions in the Ubuntu community with it.  I know this is not easy 
sometimes (I find it a challenge frequently) but both you and the project will 
be better off if you do.
