Okay, but my confusion still stands: I don’t understand what was in the least 
unwelcoming about what Andreas said. He mocked HP. He didn’t as tar as I could 
see say or suggest anything about Mark or his parentage or intelligence or how 
welcome he was on this list. I don’t see how it was unwelcoming to comment 
rhetorically on the position advertised in a (only slightly) negative fashion. 
Surely that’s just reasonable discourse?

Is that the cause of the umbrage? That he shouldn’t have discussed the position 
in a negative light in public? Or that he did so in a (slightly) sarcastic 
fashion? Or is it something else? I do (STILL) wish someone would explain to me 
using small words what exactly was unwelcoming/offensive/whatever about 
Andreas’ posting. Private correspondence I have received indicates that I’m not 
the only person in this community who can’t see what Andreas did wrong.
