It's not about the _what_, but about the _how_. The issue could have 
been easily closed with "I don't support Manjaro", rather than a series 
of insults. What if a Manjaro user files a bug on the bugtracker for one 
of the Arch packages? I hope no package maintainer in Arch would act the 
same.

I get that emotions fly high whenever Manjaro gets involved, but I just 
don't see the point in addressing (public!) bug reports like this.
