No it wasn't. It was bad.

Granted, the original bug report could have been a bit clearer, but the reporter was more than happy to help out and promptly responded to the questions and even some checking of the RGB of the colour in question, and then offered to open up a new related issue. But the dev in this case took the worse interpretation of the reporter's intent and claimed they were rude, or disrespectful or whatever, and took their report as an attack on their choice of default palette. I can imagine that the reporter was surprised and puzzled to be called "entitled" here.

And from the dev's followup explanation it just feels like their default is that everyone is entitled so they react accordingly. That response sure came out of left field, and I think the dev is lacking a little self awareness. Taking a defensive stance from the beginning is just bound to cause unnecessary drama.

Sounds a little bit entitled to me..

Opinionated, maybe. Entitled?? That's way out of line.
