We better assume good faith of each participant here.

When there is proposal to change something very fundamental to Emacs
then such proposal should be well reasoned or justified.

As changing anything fundamental in any subject of humans will cause
disagreements even if such change is maybe beneficial for the
group. When a group has made fundamental agreements between
themselves, changing or proposing those agreements requires
explanatory approach.

When there is a borderline proposal, something close to fundamental
agreements it will be either funny or sad.

If proposal is too extreme and proposes changes of things very
fundamental such as key binding for letter `e' to "Emacs" -- then this
may appear funny, and so why not make some jokes there. It tells me
that person perceivs those proposals for key binding changes as funny
and adds up to that fun, but maybe not everybody shares the
sentiments. Neither the proposal neither jokes are not bad faith, I
don't perceive it so.

Viewpoint of experienced older Emacs only users clash with view point
of users of other editors who came to Emacs world and who share
different view points, exchanging view points is good for improvement
of this software and creation of new.
