If your complaint was legitimate, the "it's your problem,

If 'diplomatic' here means 'dishonest' or 'inaccurate',then I say shove
it.
I agree. That is a dilemma.
That's precisely the problem with the whole concept: it
leads to a scenario where you can't file bugs. Debian is not
a social club, we're trying to create software. Accuracy isthe absolute
priority in a technical forum.
To the point where one would never rephrase an accurate
statement to make it more polite? I am afraid we are not
quite rational and professional enough to suppress every
emotional reaction that rudeness (real or perceived) would
evoke.
