Let's not nipick, language is evolving, and unless we use it as a
verb, it will never make it into the next dictionary as such. ;)
Also it does sound unfair for a native speaker of a language to
nitpick on s/o non-native, right?

Yes, we live in a free world, is that what you mean? I thus prefer to
escalate this and state my opinion here.

No, I won't get trolled. I'm known for getting into discussion with
people, but IMHO he already crossed a line. All this FUD was dumped
into bugzilla w/o any provocation or reason. Just because s/o
mentioned ATrpms doesn't count as provocation.

No, censoring is always bad, that doesn't mean that such behaviour
shouldn't be counteracted.
