Of course.  This is why I am deferring to your sage wisdom.

I really do my best to avoid BTS ping pong, but when I'm presented
with a maintainer that is obviously not even trying (I had to jump
through unnecessary hoops just to "prove" that a trivially
reproducible issue exists), then I feel that my judgment of the
problem is more accurate than the maintainer.  In general, I agree
that BTS ping pong is to be avoided, but in this case, I feel it was
warranted.  Sorry.
