The example I took was specifically chosen because his comments are
incorrect. I suppose I could have put his opening comments where he was
baiting me but I chose to ignore those.

Bill started out his comments by baiting me. Whether it was done nicely or
not depends upon which side of the stick you're on.

If you don't know what is wrong or right how do you know Bill gave a great
answer? It may have been a pleasant answer, but how can an answer be great
if its not right?

Mladen's comments were pretty intemperate as well. They were accusatory and
belittling (joining the "Elite" trash). I think most people would be moved
to shout at this point.

No. Bill gave a wrong answer. He ignored in the fact that java.io.tmpdir and
javax.servlet.context.tempdir are equivalent in implementation in Tomcat,
and that to be compliant, Tomcat has to make java.io.tmpdir writable.

Mladen specifically referenced the issue. I felt it appropriate in my reply
to reference the whole context. I re-posted the relevant portions to
bugzilla after drafting the message.
