With all due respect, it is within my rights to be able to criticize
a project for their actions.

I recognize that some people are overly sensitive when someone finds a 
bug in their precious contributions, but this has nothing to do with 
lack of respect. If you perceive it as such, apologies — I'm coming from 
a corner of software development where there's more list activity.

It does not change the fact however that the code simply was technically 
incorrect. (I don't mean to imply that the patch is the holy grail, 
either.) Every developer produces bugs in projects alike (with a 
tendency to have them fixed before commit the more review there is, but 
that's an implementation detail) and all we can really do in the end is 
fix it, and move on.

In the end, discussions will be forgotten and what counts to the outside 
is whether the issue at hand was fixed or not.
