I agree.

A) This has absolutely no place on the Fedora list. Even if it were a  
redhat.com address it still would have no place here. It's drama, not  
Fedora.
B) A private email to notzed would have been better than your response  
in the bugzilla and certainly better than a post to Fedora list.
C) Perhaps it was the wrong thing for him to have done. But still, have  
some humility and don't take it personally - it's a damned bug report,  
not your son in law.
D) There's always balsa :)
