[Reportbug-maint] Bug#652986: closed by Sandro Tosi <morph at debian.org> (Re: Bug#652986: reportbug: user can loose bug report due to lack of back and cancel buttons)

I simply submitted a bug report and you were rude and insulting for no
apparent reason.

As far as I know, the Debian Project as a whole at least claims that
they want to be user friendly and also as far as I know, /wants/ users
to take the time to submit bug reports. I'm a programmer too (e.g.
glunarclock) and I've submitted some very good, very thorough bug
reports in the past, once or twice including a patch. I stopped
submitting bug reports exactly because of replies like yours. I thought
I'd give it another whirl, but I see that nothing has changed. What was
the point of getting personal and telling me that my bug report is lame
anyway? Are you abusing innocent bug-reports to blow off steam from your
private life?

It is nice that report bug does in fact store it in /tmp, but how is the
user to guess this? Why not tell the user when they quit that the bug
report has been saved in /tmp?

When you write "isn't a quit button not [sic (double negative)] enough",
by which I assume you mean "isn't a quit button enough", you obviously
haven't understood what the problem is:

If the user makes the wrong choice in report bug and comes to a dialog
where they cannot continue, it is VERY FRUSTRATING having to start over
again. A simple back button would alleviate this. Can't you see that?
It's a good suggestion. It would have been your prerogative to move this
to wishlist (I almost submitted it as wishlist, but because it appeared
to me that data had been lost (no mention anywhere that it gets saved in
tmp), but just closing it because it rubbed you the wrong way for
whatever reason is wrong.

I feel like saying "fuck you" since you were rude to me for no reason,
but instead I'll say Merry Christmas!

Think about this one, and why exactly you were rude to somebody you
don't even know, when all they did was make the extra effort to help
make debian even better.

I'm re-submitting this as wishlist (now that I know that the data is in
fact saved in /tmp)

Merry Christmas
