If we're going to require people to use their brains, perhaps its not too much to ask that individuals take responsibility for paying attention to who they are speaking to.

This is not a personally configurable setting on the mailing list software, and we're relegated to a dualistic choice that cannot satisfy all participants, yet we still must choose and have previously chosen.  If this will be a recurring issue, perhaps we should structure a yearly survey/vote.

No, it's a useless imaginary construct. A valid point would be an
example (preferably, more than one) of such an email on this list,
where it would be possible to debate whether the person actually
deserved losing his job / life for hastily sending said email.
Am I reading this correctly? You need to personally witness someone make
a potentially fatal mistake before you'll take a risk seriously? 

If you're unwilling to employ foresight as a decision-making aide, you
may not be taking full advantage of your prefrontal cortex.
