So maybe the solution would rather be: if you’re frustrated, first enjoy
a good meal (that’s good for the mood ☺), then say politely inside the
community what feels like a problem to you.

My personal experience is that almost every time I grew sarcastic or
ranted, I hit the wrong people … (and had to write an excuse, hoping
that they would still be listening).

Best wishes,
Arne
