I would have better made a chat transcript, as what I wrote in my mail indeed happened and made me very angry. I think, I have the right to report on a problem like that. Some ppl felt uncomfortable with my mail and so I changed my style to be more polite. STILL if you question what I wrote in my mail about what happened in that chat, I still insist that all what I wrote was true and that it all happened. And that I felt very forgotten with my problem. I will not deny this in favour of the bug.
