Just my 2c as a new girl who probably doesn't fully understand the dynamics of this particular online community very well, but...

Maybe a gentle yet constructive criticism would be better in these cases? Word choice was a little hostile...maybe you could have just said "That's an interesting starting point, but could use some refinement, and would probably benefit from more originality. Also, can you elaborate? Your description was a bit vague."

I get annoyed by uncreative, ill-thought out ideas too, but I think hostility only pushes people away, rather than actually encouraging growth.
