Dropping a snide criticism in a message on a mailing list which is purportedly about something else entirely is exactly passive-aggressive: no-one can react to it without getting accused of being 'too hostile', but it's sitting there right where everyone reads it. > I've sent a notification to abrt-owner a few days ago, and not only > have I mentioned the false positive dupes, I've also communicated with > the bug reporters to have their fresh backtraces to the ticket manually. That's great - so why put such a snide comment in a mailing list message when you've already done the right thing?
