Yes. The mailing lists are generally better than the nadir of a couple of years ago and it's incumbent on us all to make sure they don't descend to that state again. It is absolutely not ok to respond to someone who is trying to make a reasoned argument with a dismissive, personal insult such as "get a life". An environment where that sort of speech is accepted is not a collaborative, welcoming one, and OSM can only succeed if people are prepared to collaborate. Friedrich has not been indefinitely banned, he's been suspended from this one list for one month. (Contrast with Xxzme/d1g who was banned from the whole wiki for three months.) I hope he will return in a month and be able to engage constructively, politely and with tolerance for others.
