It would also be helpful for the moderators to say which responses fall
into this category; my impression is still that many of the responses in
that thread are civil, calm, constructive, and even constitute
compromises; tighter moderation rather than complete rejection may still
be productive.

Of course, it probably is true that the supermajority of participants in
Bitcoin Core development think Gavin's proposal is "out-to-lunch" - in
circumstances like that the underlying disagreements are so vast that
further discussion on a dev list might not be productive for those
involved.
