And the issue is, how do we know what REALLY makes then 
enthusiastic. You have been saying we pay too little attention to 
not-that-specific complaining. And I strongly doubt that claim.

That isn't his only anecdote on the subject. The post in full: 
https://forum.dlang.org/post/pmktna$1hgo$1@digitalmars.com . Also 
he is quoting Laeeth who is saying just the same.

Now, it's still anecdotal experience so perhaps you can show them 
both wrong, if you have something real credible to back that up. 
If.

We're talking about attitude towards non-specific, unactionable 
or nearly unactionable forum ranting. It's not like only 
die-hards would be specific when they raise issues.
