Fair enough.

Well, I still consider this a problem.  While your clarification is
necessary, I don't feel it alters my statement.

I've been mulling over how to respond to this statement for a while.

Please, for my own edification, describe who you think I am.  I'm
absolutely certain you're mistaken, please read below.

I'm unsure where all your hatred stems from.  I'm trying to help get a
bug in PHP fixed and I'm having difficulty with it.  As a result, I'm
not trying to address the difficulty directly.

I can only assume that you're having a rough day, or that you've dealt
with so many jerks lately that your frame of mind is that everyone who
criticizes is a jerk.  There is, however, such a thing as constructive
criticism, and that is what I am trying to do.
