FWIW, I cut'n'pasted Steve's three points to the talk page for discussion.

I think point 3 is the sticking point. To what degree is ignoring the
hell out of them the right response? When wouldn't it be?

(I see the current version advises ignoring the hell out of them.)

The guideline appears to be approaching stability. :-O Hopefully
nothing deeply disagreeable to the clueful of good faith is missing,
and if it is then I hope we get them there sooner rather than later.
