I'm sorry, but in any discussion it is perfectly reasonable to sometimes
say that an idea is not a very good one. Note that there is a difference
between 'you are silly' and 'this is silly'. Manoj said the latter (one
minor typo notwithstanding).

If calling ideas silly is no longer allowed, then I am all for booting
out all non-European developers from the project (because their laws
suck).
