I'm not opposed to handling bad reports in a cheeky manner, just the part that comes up constantly about them working for free. Its always used as an excuse, when I'd rather people just admit its more fun to take the piss out of someone sometimes and maybe everyone should lighten up a bit.
Again, I'm not sure its even devs themselves making the "work for free" argument themselves, as the FOSS community has many advocates who aren't devs.
