I was explaining the reasons in the tooooo loooooooong email that nobody was
interested in, including the start of the story and everything. Maybe there
was too much ranting, but I don't think that I was discussing things
*in*sanely (otherwise I would have bothered to explain anything, I'd just be
happy with the ranting thing)
And if you declare that you're not bothering to read it, why do you call it
ranting rather than sane discussion? (Just a rethorical question, I don't
want to discuss this).
Anyway, I explained my reasons and defended myself agains the accusations so
I'm happy even if there's no more effect than that.
Too sad that the people responsible erased me from the history of NM
applicants, not appearing even in the NM weekly report. And FrontDesk don't
abide themselves to the written rules that Debian community approved and
nobody cares. But well, doesn't matter now.

Again, if you're just outsider who doesn't want to get into things, why are
you doing this judgement on my behaviour?
I explained this thing clearly, I said "don't be silly" as a way to say "be
serious and stop kidding" because he was mocking me. I don't think that
it's a very offensive word; and in particular I don't think that's a valid
reason for:
1) feeling offeded for it *after mocking my work*;
2) citing it as a reason to erase me from the NM process
But well, if everybody is happy with the situation, so be it.
Cheers.
