I don't think I am being unreasonably hostile. Hostile yes, unreasonably
so, no.
I freely admit that I am being hostile, because you are defending
collateral damage from an action that has no actual benefit and does not
help solve the problem. Getting uol.com.br customers to react could have
been achieved by other ways; hurting them is unlikely to get them to
co-operate.

Kicking people off Debian lists without proper reason is really, really
bad for the project. Much worse than a single autoresponse message that
is easy to filter off, until it can be stopped.

Anand's message only talked about unceremonicous unsubscriptions, not
blacklisting.

You're happy to defend other people being hurt, so hey, it should be
fine to hurt you, Mark.
But whatever, I think it's better if I don't try to talk to you anymore.
It's obviously unproductive for either of us.
