Y'know, you have a semi-valid point, but at the same time he's a user 
and contributor to the list.  As a user, he has as much right to blow 
chunks at the logo contest as other people who are "only users" have to 
blow sunshine up other user's butts over the logo.

Whether you like it or not, you should respect that.

This is your opinion, and it apparently isn't shared by everyone else 
who uses the project.  Users have a right to the opinions and to voice 
them, and as much as developers like to pretend users are totally 
irrelevant, projects would become shelved dust collections without 
them.
