FWIW I understood it as said. And IMHO he's spot-on

My feeling sometimes too -- but: your cranks are not the same as
my cranks (and perhaps I'm a crank to you and/or viceversa). So
who gets to decide?

Best is not to judge, but each one decides for herself how much
help one is willing to offer (burning out isn't productive either).

The only exception I'd admit is when there's broad consensus
that someone is disrupting the whole thing. Use *very* carefully,
though -- you might fall into mob rule.

Live and let live.
