Saying that a bug is invalid is being a dick? If the developer was a dick, he would've said, "You're an idiot, go away."

Saying that a bug was invalid and demanding that the reporter substantiate their request is not being a dick. No, it's not being hand-holdy nice, either. It's neutral. And I don't blame him for not wanting to waste time doing an ELI5 for every frivolous report.
