I don't think my actions are as significant as you make them out to be.

> You're behaving as if you know what's best for resources you don't even own, nor operate yourself.

I don't know best — so I file an issue to start the question. This is how you start discussions. An issue/bug report does not always mean "this is a software bug, fix it now!"

> Your knee-jerk is the very essence of vigilantism

Really? Vigilantism is filing a github issue? Lollerskates. I see things that go against my intuition, I file bugs, this is how you make software better. Sometimes the bug reports are invalid shrug. My intuition is usually good. Sorry it was wrong in this case.

> Maybe think before you speak?

This phrase gets thrown around a lot but only when talking to other people. What makes you think that I didn't think before I wrote that? Or that somehow your snide suggestion is more likely to convince me to "think more" before I file future bugs than Github and Valve's professional responses ("we're cool with this, closing")?

> Not everyone needs an activist.

I still think you're making out filing a two-sentence GH issue as waaaaaay more involved or significant than it really is. I'm not a Github activist. I just write code.
