and if those people in the openSUSE community are just clueless noobs and death-by-bikeshedding trolls, right? (Yes, I'm being ironic.)
Unfortunately we have plenty of bikeshedding even on technical issues, see the systemd discussion from last year, and I think we just have to be more aggressive in trying to suppress it.
Yes, we do want more communication, but we only want the _right_ kind of communication.
It's important, though, that the "right kind" not just be defined as "everyone who agrees with me" or even "everyone who agrees with the majority". As a community, we say that we value diversity. For that to be true, we have to not be seen to (or appear to - for the average viewer) reject ideas based on who they come from or if they're unpopular - or even if they're poorly expressed. It's important to weigh ideas based on their merits.
