It should be clear by now that we have very different ideas about what
is a grave bug.  Perhaps if you took a few minutes to explain your
criteria, much of the argument could be avoided.

There was no insult and therefore no reason to take offense.  It's
just a simple difference of judgment about what is a grave bug.

OTOH, you have no more right to teach me manners than I have to teach
you what is a sound release procedure.  While the latter is a
technical issue that is on-topic in this forum, the former is not
(unless I behave in an uncivilized manner, which I don't think is the
case).
