Doug, it would have been better if you didn't intervene in this.
Shelley, it is my job to help keep W3C lists a place where people feel they can work. Negative emails undermine our work environment.
Two people are having an angry exchange. It will, by it's very nature, dissipate on its own, especially when it's in a neutral environment, such as www-archive. It was, in fact, beginning to dissipate, if the length of time between emails wasn't an indicator for you.
It seems you didn't understand my rationale. I'm not concerned with just this incident. I'm trying to prevent similar incidents in the future. Please be more civil. Such exchanges are not helpful.
If you want to exchange angry emails, do so so off-list, not on W3C email lists (even this one). Also, it is a breach of etiquette to post private emails in public, especially in W3C space. Please don't do that again.
