What is more terrifying is the way feedback from newbies is handled.

Your statement implies that the only way feedback can be handled is
to throw the keys down in discust and walk away. That's primative
behaviour. And misleading, because that isn't going to happen.

So, what you're advocating is let things stay how they are...

Ignore feedback... tell people to freak off...
