Baseless accusations also have no place on this mailing list. They are unprofessional, and poisonous to the consensus-building process we all seek to engage in.
I didn't see any baseless accusations in the message. I saw a discussion of possible conflicts of interest. Your reply seems to indicate that somehow conflicts of interest don't exist with the developers or that the developers are somehow above everyone else. The fact is the developers on this list discuss conflicts of interest all the time as it relates to things like mining. Conflicts of interest are going to be a regular part of Bitcoin development so you should start getting used it because it is only going to increase as the value increases.
It is your messages attacking people who raise legitimate issues that is poisonous. It tries to prevent discussions of the risks associated with the code development. It creates an atmosphere where people are blackballed if they discuss these issues. This is what happens in religions all the time and it is time to start treating Bitcoin like the technology that it is rather than some cult religion.
For all I know is that a hard fork controversy is going to cause the price to drop temporarily so for all I know this is a scheme to buy some cheap coins just like when hackers used to attack exchanges and bitcointalk at the same time to get the price to drop. (I don't think it is a scheme to do that but such a scheme is certainly possible in the future and things like that should be expected to happen).
