The remarks by the person who opened #967 are beyond frustrating—and it's frustrating to see your responses to them. People putting stuff into the bugtracker that aren't bugs deserve a harsher response. Don't enable "putting stuff into the bugtracker without clearly articulating a defect [in the form of observed behavior versus expected behavior‡]" to be a viable way to interact with a project. Indulging these kinds of persons' requests for support and freeform banter is harmful in the long run. Giving them the answers that they're looking for even though their questions/comments are out of scope is way too forgiving, and it ends up causing problems for other maintainers when these numbskulls inevitably pop up around other projects and expect the same standard of treatment because they take it as a given that their fripperies are kosher.

‡ including sound, solid reasoning for why the former is incorrect and the latter is correct
