This.
There's a difference between:
- "This is a bug" and even
- "This is a bug and it's unacceptable and needs to be fixed asap" and...
- "This is a bug and the fact you didn't spot it means you are clearly idiots who do no testing"
I work in software fixing bugs and I expect and experience all three. And I don't exactly de-prioritize anyone's issue for sniping but on the other hand it doesn't help me solve the issue either. Once you've let me know the issue is important (see example 2 above) then anything else is just "noise" really. Let off steam if it makes you feel better (and subject to the board rules etc), and trust me I understand that buggy software can be very frustrating, but don't imagine it helps get things fixed quicker.
