You don't have much faith in the human condition. You actually think, by this random guy telling some other random guy to go play something else, he's causing 240 servers to decrease to 26?
Some random guy telling me to do something doesn't make me want to do it. In fact, quite the opposite.
He's trying to make a point. The point is, if you like it, stay and contribute. If you don't like it, go find something you like and contribute. No need to blow it up into something it's not.
