Praise publicly, critise privately. Whatever.
Oddly enough, you didn't feel obliged to mention this at the time,
instead preferring:
how about instead of you trying to control the behavior of others,
you just control your own? don't read the thread if it doesn't
interest you. nobody is forcing you to read it.
That was in response to:
Could you please restrict your d-u postings to on-topic subjects?
...highly inflammetory, doubtless.
Whatever.
In response, I referred you to the list charter, code of conduct, and
debian-curiosa.

Point. Missed.

Several mails, from one respondant, raising the issue of anarchism.
Apparently at odds to playing within rules defined by a group. I found
it telling.

Check your feet while you're at it.
Both off-list and on, you've been particularly argumentative on this
subject. I'll correct your mistatements, particularly as concerns me.
I have about as little interest in this topic otherwise as I did in the
original.

You should be familiar with the words in question. They were yours.
I'll allow you to breach your own confidence.
You'll also find <shift> keys at the left and right of your keyboard.
Use of same is encouraged.
