He made a point about what he likes about Debian, specifically mentioning that 
he recognizes it is not without its problems, but that at least he, with 
Debian stable, doesn't generally run into the frustrating problems that ESR 
was complaining about.

You responded with the start of the flame war because you have anecdotal 
experience with Debian Testing, where it is inherently *not* stable in this 
regard.  He made some valuable comments hinting that ESR will just find 
something else to complain about in the Debian world.

Why does everything have to be a flame war?  Your response fits in a flame 
war, but not his.
