A month ago I asked a question here that barely a minute after clicking "send" realized was utterly dumb. It reminds of an anecdote about an (MIT?) professor who'd insist on whomever asks him a question to explain in some detail what they understand and what they don't understand, and oftentimes when people do so come to an "Oh!" moment of sudden understanding before he'd even answered just out of formulating the problem. That utterly dumb question got many "tolerant, pleasant" answers. :-) I would draw a thick line between the community's response to someone who'd ask an utterly dumb question - I don't me specifically, but any newcomer - and someone who'd insist upon the creator of a carefully considered and crafted solution and its community to change their "culture" outright. If I, and people like me who are willing to put their nose to the grindstone, read the books and watch the videos umpteen times over till they get it through and through, to become invested in clojure and its future, then we need a firm reassurance that ludicrous demands like those are firmly resisted, and believe it's imperative to implore clojure core to do so.
