If you got a little less confrontational, and a little less defensive, it is very likely that more people will listen to you. Remember, what the project needs a _lot_ of is volunteers contributing bug reports, bug fixes and _code_. There are very many users out there with cute ideas and no implementation plan, compared with the relatively small number of developers who do the actual work in their _free_time_. Your concern for the project can best be implemented as "real work", rather than "chirping from the sideline". Ideas are like @$$holes, everybody has one, and nobody is interested in the next guy's.
