Before pointing out the mote in another person's eye, you should consider 
the enormous beam in yours. You initially reported a completely bogus 
error (NameError: name 'framerate' is not defined) and Brian responded to 
that.

I don't know why you're claiming he was responding to a name that was 
commented out, when you included a traceback clearly showing that the 
line was executed.

If we're supposed to think Brian "is really just making a mess of 
things" (your words) for responding to incorrect information, what are we 
supposed to think of the person who submitted the incorrect information 
in the first place?

I think you need to chill out and stop treating a simple bug report as a 
personal slight on you.
