> I will join the others saying as me: as someone who has been in the situation of debugging something for hours only to find out the cause is someone's else incompetence, I totally find his tone acceptable.

This tone is not acceptable in a formal bug report. It's fine to pour out your frustration in this tone to your coworkers over a pint of beer, but it is not fine to go and yell it at someones face in a formal environment.

Everyone has wasted hours and hours in a frustrating debugging spree, we all know that feeling. Get over it and be a professional, report the bug, fix it and shut up.



Well, you are right. I would have said I found his tone understandable, not really acceptable.
