[PHPiCalendar-DEV] can someone help me understand bug 1417012?

[Jo R. <jr...@sv...>]

This is regarding bug 1417012.

There are several references in the code to publish.php, which doesn't exist
in the current distribution.

Chad closed the bug immediately saying he doesn't support documentation.  I
realized I wasn't being clear, and reopened it explaining that it was
references in the code itself.  Chad's final note on this is:

  Please stop harrassing me, I've closed this twice. If you persist I will 
  lodge a complaint with sourceforge. This is not going to be fixed.

What exactly about pointing out problems in the code is harrassing?  These
problems do exist.  If there is a reason for it to be this way (I suggested
several possible explanations) then why not take a quick moment to explain 
why it is this way?

I'd really hate to start off my relationship with this project on such an 
argumentative approach.  Frankly, I'm confused by this sort of behavior.

I like phpicalendar, and I'm working on a number of patches to improve it
(including several that are in your feature request list)  But if bug
reports are going to be slammed down with threats of harrassment, without
even acknowledging or responding to the issue ... that's pretty difficult
to work with.

In looking through the bugs, I've noted that Chad tends to aggressively
close out bugs even when people have documented that the issue isn't fixed.
So it apparently isn't just me that is observing this behavior.
