Admittedly, I have no idea what a 'traditional behavioural pattern' is (especially when moving in an international community, I find that the meaning of 'tradition' is very much dependent on cultural context). So I also have no idea what it could mean to be versed in applying it. So what are you trying to say here in plain words? Were you interested if you would be able to start a flamewar by throwing in a provocation? Were you interested if an implied insult would be perceived as one and by whom? Were you interested if you could get away with provocative wording without any comment? In any case, it seems to me that sociological experiments are not what a developer's discussion list is for. And in case you were wondering - it is considered unethical in the scientific community to conduct an experiment without the consent of the participants. Since I am not the owner of moderator of the list, what follows is (unfortunately) my personal request only, but I would kindly ask you to stop using this list for any future tests of similar nature and rather help building a pleasant working atmosphere for everyone involved to get this other project called 'Flightgear' improved. If you are seriously interested in sociology, I am sure there are forums and lists for that available.
