Hi,
I'd also like to comment on "Comment can reasonably be expected to provoke an angry
response from a significant portion of the people on the list. ".
I described this in else-thread as "offensive, ad hominem, triggering". So it's
not just angry but offended, scared, disgusted. Such as descriptions of horrible acts
committed by (euphemistically) war criminals, perverts, and human rights abusers.
Is this a different category from "provoke anger" or should it all be rolled
into one?
I am very troubled by "provoke an angry response". Sometimes, things
need to be said that will anger a significant portion of people on the
list.
For example, the whole targeted moderation plan could not have been
announced on any ASF list with that rule in effect. That announcement
clearly provoked an angry response, and could have reasonably been
expected to do so.
