I apologize if anything I wrote was disrespectful. The bug was closed
and I was trying to argue forcefully that it be reopened. In the company
where I work discussions about whether a bug should be fixed or not are
appropriately recorded in the bug db. I was not aware that was not
normal practice for Ubuntu. I will not do so again.

I apologize if anything I wrote was disrespectful. The bug was closed

where I work discussions about whether a bug should be fixed or not are
