He mostly presented not arguments but unsupported ideas.  Most are based on
misunderstandings with obvious flaws to experienced Pythoneers.

NO! Do not do this.  Guido is already way too busy to have such stuff
imposed on him.
Posting here was exactly the right thing to do.

>Guido is the source for a possible change.

Actually most ideas come from someone else.  Small fixes and changes often
get approved by one of the other developers.  Important decisions by Guido
require a PEP or patch and usually discussion on the developers list.
