Examples of this are legion.  Here's one from 2010 on the High-Logic 
forum in response to a post expressing hope that some stuff will be 
encoded in regular Unicode.
https://forum.high-logic.com/viewtopic.php?p=12429#p12429
Here's an excerpt from that response:
"I'm not sure what you base that hope on. Unicode is not a plaything for 
hobbyists. It is a serious, industry driven effort to allow the entire 
world to electronically store text records from both the present and the 
past. The fact that no one has responded to this thread since the middle 
of April, and the only responses you have ever received on the Unicode 
list are along the lines of "let's create an off-topic list, so the main 
message board isn't clogged by this stuff" should indicate to you that 
this is not germaine, and is generally thought to be at best 
uninteresting, and more probably annoying."

Many good people have offered sound advice over the years.  To no avail.
