Welcome to this mailing list! Have you been following this discussion for longer, or have you just joined? Reason I'm asking is that it would allow me to get an idea of which past communications on this list you are likely to have seen, and then to understand why this one in particular prompted you to write your first post given that quite a few rudenesses have been exchanged in the past. If, in response to what you just wrote, I were to ask you to respect etiquette, then what would be an appropriate response on your part? Would you *not* ask for clarification? Do you think that it should be obvious to everyone where a potential etiquette violation lies and that Christoph is acting in bad faith when he asks for details? Is everyone expected, upon receiving a non-concrete message about having violated etiquette, to carefully revisit everything they have written and ask themselves whether this could be considered offensive? If that is what you think is right, would this not be an effective measure to silence each and everyone? I always thought "gaslighting" was trying to make someone believe they're out of their mind, like if I was to make funny noises in a conversation and someone would ask what the noises were and I would say "haven't heard anything". In your use of the word, would it also apply to one person saying "you are impolite!" and the other person saying "how so"?
