Needs to be neutralized? I don't know, that sounds a bit dramatic. Maybe they just need to take a deep breath and approach this calmly.

Possible duplicate, huh? I bet someone else has reported this same issue. Time to do some digging in the bug tracker.

No attempt to isolate the defect? Sounds like the developer just threw their hands up in the air. Not very helpful for the QA team.

The steps to reproduce are definitely unclear. How are we supposed to fix this bug if we don't know how to trigger it?
