You've been repeatedly informed why your proposed changes to the
severity levels are a bad idea by many people on this list. Let's take
an analogy:

Imagine you're a fresh, young car tester at Ford. Using an open-door
policy to contact an executive, you promise a new, efficient design to
replace the current combustion engines completely. You present your
idea at a board meeting. The board is not receptive to your proposed
changes. The engineering department doesn't believe it will solve any
problems, and in fact that it will reduce fuel efficiency and increase
pollution. The other board members point out that you're very new to
the company, and that you have no experience in engine design or
engineering and you are only present in the company as a tester.

In this scenario, are you being bullied by the board members?

You'd have some credibility if you researched what the Wine project
does with bugzilla, how it currently works, etc. rather than just
assuming it's the wrong way to do it.

Still not your problem? Still feeling bullied, but this time by the
mailing list server?

I don't believe your earlier mains have been resent. I certainly
haven't received them.
