We also have this issue with proposals about people not reading them closely. (Are vowels still banned?) I guess the only thing to say is 'read everything before posting a comment.' It isn't really just that. It's also that some of the comments were a little more harsh than needed. It doesn't serve to make the wiki environment as user-friendly as it needs to be.

It wasn't just "Read all comments before you post" but also to address that this kind of stuff doesn't make us look like a welcoming community. It isn't necessary to rip a guy apart simply for expressing an ill-informed yet perfectly harmless opinion, and it reflects on the community and makes it look bad. Especially when it's four or five people doing it.
