If you maintain widely-used software, you're going to get a lot of bug reports which are in fact user error, and you don't have a great deal of time to spend on each report.
So it's easy to mistakenly dismiss a report when it contains at least one user error, or even something close to a user error, even when it also exposes a real bug.

Yes, that might be true. I never complained about him before "in public" so there was some steam to release. However I hope I still gave enough clear thought on how I think he is acting wrong repeatedly.

Which only makes it worse. There is a good deal of serious replies to the issue, but because of some trolling, the whole discussion is considered invalid by the maintainers, or at least they make it look like that by just closing it without any further comment. Only about an hour ago did poettering reply again giving some more insight, but the damage has been done and next time there will probably be even more trolling.
