One to point out that old fashioned light bulbs didn't have built in fuses and came with clear glass so it was possible to "tap"* the bulb to get more life from it.
*Old way of getting the broken filament to re-connect.

One forummer to enthuse about light bulbs, and the rest hammer them for giving up on candles.
Half a dozen to point out how the bulb would have been changed more safely if they had been following the recommendations of Lightbulb Craft.
One to point out that there are speed cameras between the LBS and the socket, causing half a dozen of those in the shadows to complain about the surveillance society.

One person who suggests that the bulb blew because it had been in use for at least 1000 hours, and that these things happen. Five people to wade in stating that lightbulb use will probably bring Life as we know it to a grinding halt by the end of next week. They cite a peer-reviewed paper referenced on RealLightbulb.com ("Lightbulb science from lightbulb scientists"). They poo-poo any counter evidence posted on Wattsupwiththatlightbulb.com.
