I suggest that you add some filtering to your email in that case, it
is unfortunately inevitable that Raspbian and the RPi are going to
come up again.

My mail had nothing to do with Broadcom or the Raspberry Pi, but
rather your hostility towards and abuse of members of the Debian
community (Peter Green is a DD) and toward a Debian derivative trying
to make the best of a pretty bad situation that everyone on this list
is well aware of.
I'd encourage you to read the mailing lists code of conduct,
especially the second and third last items and the item on CCs. In
addition, you might like to read the Debian Community Guidelines for
some tips on constructive communication.
