We're all volunteers and we give our time to this project because we love to do so. I personally put effort into maintaining dpkg because I enjoy the unique challenge the code represents, and get a great deal of satisfaction from it. However, not just as volunteers, but as human beings, we deserve the right to be able to give our time without fear or intimidation from others. The language Marc used in his reply was both rude and aggressive. This intimidated me into treating his bug differently from the other 400-odd equal-status bugs currently filed against dpkg. I have a right to work without that intimidation, therefore I declined to fix the bug or enter any further discourse about it. Fortunately Santiago is an excellent moderator, and provided Marc listens to him, I'm willing to ignore his behaviour and go back to considering this just any bug.
