Michael,
If you carefully read Steve's post, you will see that some people may
find it insulting. For example he is belittling Etienne's efforts.
Far from belittling, I've elevated his efforts to a direct threat to the
project in my mind.
He
expresses a dislike of pseudonyms which may bring into question his
motivation(s) for "resetting" the list.
I hadn't really thought about the pseudonym thing until a while ago when
someone sent around the 'poisonous people' talk video done I think at
google. One of their very first points is to note that trolls usually
use pseudonyms and if you can stop that then things can get a lot better.
Personally I'm very libertarian and would otherwise support using
pseudonyms. But sadly when it reaches the limit case where essentially
every troll is a pseudonym it's hard to justify it anymore.
I personally hope you (David) will also calm down, withdraw unwarranted
personal insults and consider apologising.
