Joke pull requests waste the time of people who have much better things to do and demeans the immense effort it takes to drag projects to open source at large companies. Being called a prick for doing prickish things is a very light response, and in a functioning culture (one of which which software developers rarely do more than pretend to aspire to, but that's nothing new) it might even be enough to teach him to not do so again.

You know the best part, though? I've probably perturbed more electrons on why MSBuild is a horrible build system, and how its integration with Visual Studio will happily destroy many types of changes in .csproj files, than most people here. My life is worse when I have to deal with it. But despite that, I somehow manage to not cape up for jerks who hurt people. Isn't that weird?

And not one of your "pretty notably respectable people" is a person for whom I had the time of day before you alerted me to their penchant for screwing with other people for fun. A list of meaningless names to buttress the case for hurting other people is remarkably unpersuasive.
