I'll note the following: I've already written many of the participants
in the alltogether off-topic thread requesting they keep discussion on
topic. If it continues past today, they'll find themselves killfiled by
me, if not others.
As several (in or out of the) closet anarchists have replied that
self-control is apparently beyond their mein, I'll remind them that
consequences for actions are also their responsibility. Including
finding themselves ignored by those who value s over n.
I'll also note that several participants have apologized or indicated
they'll reform their behavior. Thank you.
The Debian mailinglist code of conduct includes this guideline:
http://www.debian.org/MailingLists/#codeofconduct
# Make sure that you are using the proper list.
Note that there _is_ a debian-curiosa list. There are also many
cesspits dedicated to discussions of drugs, politics, and religion.
Please use one.
Peace.
