Exactly. Bugzilla is not a communication tool, it's a process |
| 8 |
management tool. The process in question is dealing with bugs. Don't |
| 9 |
substitute filing a bug for communication. The main reason people end |
| 10 |
up having these abrasive behaviours is they don't communicate |
| 11 |
properly. If they did they'd find out they are actually very much |
| 12 |
alike and agree on most things. Communication is (in order of |
| 13 |
effectivity) in-person meeting, phone, irc, email. If you're not using |
| 14 |
any of these tools you're not communicating effectively and you can't |
| 15 |
expect things to go smoothly. |
