You're stopping Enrico from voicing deviant thoughts then you threaten
to cut him off from the BTS unless he starts pretending not to think
them.

Nobody so far.

You're stopping people from filing request when you say on this list
that filing requests that you do not like constitutes "attacks" and
"abuse".

Sure. But the BTS listings are not kept in order if they falsely claim
that nobody has a problem with the configuration file format.
Especially, it is not "in order" for the BTS listings to falsely claim
that once somebody had a problem with it, but the thing was settled
and they don't have a problem anymore.

Whay you call "morononic games" is simply the reasonable refusal to go
on record as agreeing with you, by someone who in fact doesn't.
