in addition to a milder name for it, i think we need to include a
brief description of how [whatever they are] are created

the people who hijack threads are [mostly] new to both vim and the
internet, or they wouldn't be doing it -- further, they are [mostly]
nervous about getting the 'to' address correct, or they wouldn't be
doing it

the most important tone to take, imho, is kindness, because, having
been in that situation myself, i remember all too well how
traumatic it is to get scolded harshly for something i really
didn't understand -- thrilled at finding a group of intelligent
helpful generous people solving problems, suddenly to have them
turn on you snarling is something we should bend over backwards to
avoid
