Well separately I would also like it to be acknowledged that this was a customer bug report? I am the one who has paid a lifetime of $200/machine licenses for Windows, and I filed a bug report with a complete benchmark repro case.

Why the onus is placed on me to manage the team's emotional state, to be diplomatic, or whatever else is projected on me, is even more frustrating. This was Microsoft _responding to a customer_. It is not like I am on their team, at their company, or am supposed to be friends.

I don't think anyone in this thread is saying that you are on the "wrong side" either on the technical level or in the github thread. It's just, if your endgame is to raise awareness for software quality, you do a disservice to yourself by exploding even if you have reason to.

If you want to extend your reach you recognize that even programmers are emotion driven machines and "managing emotions" is sadly part of it. It is also perfectly legitimate if you don't want to deal with this. I am not sure I would in your place.

My endgame is that I don't want to be involved in any of this anymore, ever. I found this entire experience disgusting.

There are literally entire divisions at Microsoft who are being paid collectively tens of millions of dollars to manage their employees' emotional state. They have managers. They have HR. They have corporate training.

If literally they cannot themselves teach their developers to reply to a bug report with "thanks, we'll look into this" and not reply until they know what they're talking about, or "sorry, that's not a priority item for us" and close it, then I don't know what to say.

Like just take a few minutes of your giant corporate training to say, "hey, when a customer files a bug report, don't try to delegitimize it by 'explaining' why it's not a valid report, or their opinions are wrong. Just accept the bug report, take action, and move on."

That's all that had to happen here. I post termbench, they say "thanks we'll work on the performance" or "no thanks, this is not a priority". Done. That's it.

I agree with everything you say, I personally like your videos incl. the angry rants. But I can picture people not involved on either "side" who might benefit from handmadehero or Star Code Galaxy being turned off by your reaction to this thing regardless of how justified it is.

I would be delighted if they then didn't watch them.
