Yes, I've read the list guidelines, and actually referred people to them
myself. There's just something about condescending and self-righteous
posts that assume their opinions are the only logical ones that invites
demurral. Apparently, that justifies personal attacks in the minds of
some. Those people should find another list where it's acceptable.
Perhaps this list's guidelines should discourage that sort of thing.

Have a nice day. Respect others' opinions.

We're not talking about books, but rather posts on an email list.
And email lists have guidelines for people to follow. Please read

Here is an excerpt:
Replying
When replying to other people it is customary to intersperse your
response with their questions, both so you can answer the actual
question that was asked, and so everyone else has some idea what you
are talking about. It is also customary to limit your quoting to the
minimum possible to get your point across. Take the time to be
considerate, remember those subscribers who have slow, expensive
connections.
This is to provide support to users. This discussion belongs
elsewhere. Quit filling up mailboxes with this dribble. No wonder
people unsubscribe from the list.
