You mean showing person the door when that person clearly demonstrated he 
does not, will not, and doesn't even have a desire to play by our rules?
Every single time this ends up being a waste of time for everyone involved. 
And this is yet another proof of that.

You better re-read the entire bug report again. What you said is offensive 
towards me and I request your apology!

The topic is over, at least for me. You are behaving exactly the same way 
Jeremy did disregarding everyone and everything because _you_ perceive 
something differently then everyone else here. And making conclusions 
without reading the entire conversation or being familiar enough with bugzilla.

Vitaliy.
