[wp-forums] Alternatives to "picking a fight"?

[Mika A Epstein]

Ideas is for ideas for WP core. It's also a hot mess.

I think it'd just piss them off more, since it's not exactly baked nor 
working well at all as a feeder for trac. Just skimming that post tells 
me he doesn't actually want to discuss anything, and just rant. You 
can't really help that much (and SeaCoast regularly feeds the fire, I 
can't tell if it's intentional).

That's how I know he doesn't care to discuss. He doesn't even bloody read.

Generally I try to explain that hey, this is all done by volunteers. 
WordPress.com and .org are NOT the same, nor are they owned by the same 
company, but YES that is hella confusing. If you want to help improve 
and fix things, we'd love to have you help. You can start by reviewing 
the make sites and joining IRC...

And then I go drink.
