What did you expect with a rant like that?

You vented your anger. This is fine. Some concrete actions were 
already taken (e.g. Andrei filed an issue about writeln). People 
should do this more often, because core-devs are blind to issues 
such as writeln documentation. They never look that up. Thanks 
for that!

However, into your rant mixed proposals in a "wiseass attitude" 
with lots of bikeshedding potential. Naturally, people react to 
that and shoot it down. If you want to do something like that 
again, my advice would be: Delay the proposals until the very end 
and write in a very humble way. Describing the problems precisely 
is worth more than coming up with ideas for a solution anyways.
