It is also wrong, for you to give out motherly advices. My comment is  
directly tied to the problem, on topic about Mac Emacs. Your comment,  
is censure and propaganda in nature. Consider that if both of us are  
wrong, your wrong is more more than my wrong.

In the previous paragraph, i gave my opinion about your opinion about  
the topicality of our posts. Regarding your second opinion about  
filing a bug report, i quote:

This i consider a propaganda.
I have written a somewhat detailed account on my opinion on this  
issues. You please see:
