Thing is... he's right, though, and it IS rather on topic. Public bug trackers only function as long as the peanut gallery doesn't decide to descend. Once it DOES descend on an issue, the issue often becomes a cluttered off-topic mess of ill-informed nastiness.

Just look at any Mozilla bugzilla issue addressing Linux video acceleration, as an example.

Need to thank you though, for adding value.

>You're comment hasn't added any value to the conversation, it's just a rant.

I disagree, his meta-analysis of how these conversations tends to go adds to the conversation by making us all aware of trends bigger than this one story.

Your post criticizing him, however, seems to add nothing to this conversation.

I, on the other hand, am contributing by rejecting your baseless assertion and supporting the meta-analysis of the on-topic topic, that comment threads about public bugs tend to be low quality.

I'm also supporting the topic materially, if you catch my drift.
