The problem, of course, is that it was the nutcases who started the
forum, and the legitimate critics were drawn there in a search for an
outlet for their criticism. Someone should start a forum and invite
the legitimate critics there, and give them the chance to separate
themselves from the pure trolls. Not only will they be able to
properly produce criticism, but we will be able to do something with
it to improve the project. External criticism is something that
currently comes from far too few quarters.
