Firstly, a good stir of the pot to get things going is a good thing. To lower 
Podz' legitimate concerns by calling it a flame, is a cop-out. Also, never once 
did I see Podz suggest that anyone should feel guilt or shame. He is pointing 
out an example of the weakest part of open-source projects. Don't put words into 
peoples' mouths.

If you feel ridiculed, then that is a decision you made on how to accept or 
reject Podz's comments. I take his remarks as a challenge to make WordPress 
better and stronger.

How about you supply some suggestions too?
