Can't remember seeing any posts from you there.
If you interpret a post as being abusive, don't be afraid to mention
that, e.g. "hey that sounds insulting." Easier said than done; just
try not to get into the flames. I've gotten mails in the past like
"you're an asshole" when the person who wrote that was replying to my
criticism.
C.l.js isn't all bad. Try and make a good post or two there and make it better!
I replied on similar question at the previous list:

The goal of the list is *not* to blame c.l.js or the major Javascript
libraries. From c.l.js I have learned a lot of things from
professional developers. Although there are some trollish posts, there
is and really valuable information. How someone would interpret this
information depends on his opinion and his attitude.
Some people do not like to be target of criticisms. This really depends
on the criticisms and on the critics. When the criticism is constructive
and says some things which can improve your knowledge and especially
your code it is really good for you (I know you agree with this
statement). The problem is that some people do not skip
invaluable criticisms and start to reply of trollish posts. While they
do not skip the troll's criticism, they completely skip the constructive
criticism. They think all of the critics are trolls, which does not help
them a lot.
