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.
