Guys, seriously, at this point, haven't you figured out that it
doesn't really matter what we say? He knows he's wrong, he just
doesn't want to ack. it, and I think he is enjoying this game.
The point is made, let's just ignore him and move along, we have
better things to do.

This is a fruitless discussion.
Let me explain a little what people are trying to communicate to you.
You're looking at this in a very rigid manner.
In an open source community, your credentials matter. When your positive,
we're positive, if you're sour, well you're going to get a likewise
reaction. If you're ultimate goal is to get the bug fixed then you' need to
social engineer to do it. Sometimes that just means that you might have to
take over maintainership. That's how a lot of people got to become
maintainers or core developers because the took something that annoyed them
and fixed it. "Open" in open source means that you have the ability to
address problem directly rather than waiting on others.
Barring that, you'll have to be polite and observe the social niceties.
This should not be particularly new to you. We do this every day not in
just in a open source project but in our daily lives. All you're doing
right now is antagonizing people here and you're no closer to fixing your
bug, but instead you just have people mad at you. It's a fruitless
discussion.

Every software has bugs. GNOME has loads. We have Bugzilla to track

developers know that there are bugs.
Sometimes bugs are forgotten and just a ping is enough to get some
progress in a bug.
So I brought up a honest question, how long should a bug be fixed.
This should be a scientific measure of "Quality of Support".
The entire "OMG there is a bug" thing is not impressive.
Well, what's wrong if I just said OMG?
