Mozilla now banning people for grumpy bug reports

I agree with you that the title of this post is click bait, however, this statement:

" Frustration is an expression of emotion and has no place in a bug report."

Again, you're right, and again, you're wrong. Now we need moderators and rules and timeouts and bannination and more rules on how what as developers expect from bug reports?

It's hard enough for users to make bug reports.

What I want from bug reports is accuracy, precision, specification, and oh my god, a reproducible test case.

If after registering for a bug account, after taking the time to create a reproducible test case, after taking the time to enter that in my reporting system, if they want to call me a simian -- I'm okay with that.

I'm not sure how the effort required by a user to file a bug report entitles him to use that system in a way not intended by the system itself. Effort != entitlement.

I'm not suggesting rules/moderation/banning, but a little private introspection by individuals before they act.
