Santosh, personally my patience with you is at an end. You occasionally make a 
useful contribution, but I do not intend to waste any more of my time arguing 
with you about what is and isn't polite, which takes up more time than your 
valuable contributions.

As I finish this e-mail, I will write a "Santosh kill rule" for my e-mail 
in-box, and that's it then for me, regardless of whether you ever get banned 
from any list or not.
