I agree that Trek's response here is not very helpful. However he has spent countless hours working on Ember's documentation and the fact that it's where it is now is due to his dedication. There's clearly more work to be done and we're all very well aware of that. We've been working on a getting started tutorial but it's been slow going since all of us on the Core Team are very busy with our day jobs. We hope to get something out for everyone as soon as possible.

That may very well be true but it doesn't change the fact that his response was very negative (much more so than the OP's) and for no good reason. The OP did not say "Trek sucks, his attempt at documentation is laughable" in fact I would venture a guess that the OP had no idea who Trek was prior to his posting. This was not an attack against Trek or the work he has done but rather a frustrated programmer explaining his predicament and asking for help and Trek told him he wasn't worth his time. If that's not pouring gas on the fire I don't know what is. If I were the OP I would completely abandoned trying to learn Ember.js after a comment like that, talk about kicking a man when he is already down.
