For the avoidance of doubt... The debian-user list may be listed as "not moderated", but that just means that posting is open by default. This mailing list, like all Debian-hosted mailing lists, is subject to both the Debian mailing list Code of Conduct and the main Debian Code of Conduct: https://www.debian.org/MailingLists/#codeofconduct https://www.debian.org/code_of_conduct As Andrew points out in his excellent and helpful regular posting: Inappropriate behaviour on the list may lead to warnings; repeated bad behaviour may lead to temporary or permanent bans for offenders. If you're trying to label that as "politically correct" then I think you may need to change your expectations. The "principles of open source" do not include a free pass to be abusive to others. -- Steve McIntyre, Cambridge, UK. st...@einval.com "We're the technical experts.
