"Discussing how to ignore people publically" -- publically
modifies discussion, the way I parse that sentence. Sounded like you
objected to the public discussion on the technical details of
ignoring people.
And, looking back, people were merely talking about ignoring
people on debian-devel@l.d.o. Since when has this become an official
address for anyone?
I am afraid your current defense of your position fails the
logic test.
