Thank you for your interesting, calm, and reasonable thoughts.
Unfortunately, the problem with your sentiments is that some people go
absolutely bazooka if you simply choose to let subjects drop that you no
longer care to pursue, let alone kill-file them, or ignore them.
Thus, it seems that a certain list-member's rejection of your above
sentiments - ie the rejection of the principle that one listmember has the
right to ignore another list-member - is the source of the current angst
among the rest of the listmembers.
