I just wanted to quote this to highlight the GOOD in this community.   
Michael is absolutely right.

We need to have the good judgment to distinguish between serious open  
discussion about problems and opportunities and dishonest
trolling.  And to simply invite the trolls to leave.  We do this on  
the wiki all the time.  We need to do the same on the mailing list.
