I'll have to disagree on this one. In my opinion, bug trackers an excellent way to organize feature discussions. Sure, blogs posts are a more expressive medium but that doesn't reduce the importance of bug trackers. In this particular instance, the GNOME dev was pretty rude and if that behavior is supported by the GNOME community, it needs to be publicly called out. I as a user would not want to support any open source project where developers act like asshats.

It was rude, I'll give you that, although I'd take an issue that this is normal behavior in the community. I've interacted with a lot of GNOME devs, hell, a lot of developers in general. Some are rude, some are short, yes, but the overwhelmingly majority are nice, pleasant people. But even then, languages barriers pop up, miscommunication happens, or yes, otherwise decent people lose their patience and say something rude. I'd still argue that this this one bug report being taken out of context to illicit a reactionary response. Don't get me wrong, there's room for debate about the transparency feature, but let's stop convicting the entire project for one dev and one bug report.
