It seems you missed this good advice from Roger Leigh:
"Let me begin by stating that I found your reply (and others) to be
rude, unnecessarily aggressive, and lacking in well-reasoned
objective argument. It's poor communication like this which caused
me to unsubscribe from the Debian lists, and also to this list a good
while back (I only read the digest summary on occasion, and rarely
participate). I find it fosters an unfriendly, unpleasant and
unproductive environment which I don't enjoy working in. When you're
doing this type of work as a part-time volunteer, it's extremely
demotivating and disheartening to be treated this way. It would be
unacceptable in a professional setting, and it's equally unacceptable
here. Please do think about what you have written before sending it;
it costs nothing to be nice, even when you are in disagreement with
someone."
Good advice, but sometimes it can be counter productive.
There are always "two" sides/views to any situation and I've always
found any out burst can be helpful, cathartic and generally lead to
increased production.
If someone is posting in a manner that causes offence to someone, it is
better that it be drawn to the attention of the poster. They can then
choose to modify their posting style or not. At least both sides know
where they stand.
I'd much rather have contributions(posts) than sulking. YMMV, but I
dislike tofu, blancmange and similar.
