Blunt and obnoxious means that you don't bother with a basic reply when contacted for a feature, but then become suddenly one's biggest fans and friends, all forthcoming and excited once the product somehow ends up on the site. This comes across an exceptionally cynical, disingenuous and high-brown attitude. And, tangibly, the only benefit of joining in is the exclusivity of becoming one of the cool kids. But that's of a little value if one doesn't have any SV peeps to impress.
