No.
First off, I never said that the rules are there to be able to badmouth
people. So calling someone a jerk is never a good idea.
And whatever mistake made, the NMU is still someone trying to help you, so
you should respond calmly: "Thank you for the NMU but the issue really did
not warrant a direct upload, you would have saved us some troubles by
contacting me or by uploading to DELAYED."

We're speaking of RC bugs, you should not have plenty of RC bugs on your
shoulders...
