Like attacking people and telling them they are 'full of shitz'
is going to help the project...

Imho these kinds of attacks just piss people off and this mailing
list is getting a bad name.

It's a public mailing list, every now and then someone (new) will post
an idea that sounds stupid to those involved in this project for
a long time, but I'm not sure if your reaction in this matter
brings anything else than irritation, regardless of your valuable
contributions in other occassions.
