I am not sure bigotry means what you think it does. You asked
for volunteers to help you with a problem; they said that the problem
you presented was presented in a fashion that was likely to be triaged
out in favour of problems which presented better.
This is not presenting any dogma as being incontrovertibly
correct.

This list is about people who use Debian helping each other.

I am.

You are not a customer. Customers help pay my salary. You do
not. At best, we are both people who use Debian. If I can help you, I
will, but this is entirely on my dime, and an act of goodwill. Do not
presume to abuse that.

Mozilla folks have a Bugzilla implementation. As the person
encountering this problem, perhaps you are the best person to report
it?

You find system memory being used after a crash. Are you sure
it is not used in cached buffers?

You know, you have a singularly ineffective means of asking for
help.

Wow. For someone asking for help from volunteers, you certainly
are making friends here.
