I think the issue here is someone comes along with no history in the 
project and asserts that he has a great solution for a problem while 
developers with many years of experience know it's not that simple.  It 
takes time to explain all this and most of us are very busy with other 
tasks.

Furthermore, people sometimes interpret no response to their ideas as 
implicit endorsement when that's not the case at all.  Better for the 
experienced people to give a quick no/nak than to say nothing and let 
someone assume that his idea is supported.  I suspect that what Marek 
was doing.

Finally, I think some of us have a hard time taking people seriously 
when they don't identify themselves with their real name.
