Also please explain how you avoid the apparent hypocrisy of soliciting contributions from "the community", and then in the next breath tell "the community" that they're irrelevant. And what were your expectations when you joined a project that produced a product that real users from "the community" were going to use? And that "the community's" opinions and criticisms of this product would be discussed in an open forum? Did you expect that "the community" would all get starry-eyed, and say to you, "Oh! It's everything I dreamed of; it's perfect! Thank you, I can think of nothing more to add." Why don't you catch on that this is not how the world works?
