This is a logical fallacy and an appeal to popularity, this doesn't make him wrong. As a first-timer, how could he know that posting what he judged to be an issue, proved not to be an actual issue? It certainly was about the Arch User Repository.
When applying some good will, I think it's clear that he thought he posted to the right communication channel. Even though his post contained no formal arguments, no single post can be a discussion in itself.
Fair enough but I would not call Ralf a first-timer.... perhaps to the AUR list, but certainly not to Arch.
