You can attempt to convince the listmasters or the project as a whole
in public without abusing them. (And it would be nice if they also
replied to you in a calm, levelheaded manner as well...)

If the public agrees, sure. But it looks to me like this thread is
pretty much just you against everyone else. Others may have
approached you in private to say they agree with you, but you don't
seem to be getting much in the way of public support.

inbox gets far more spam in a day than my Debian mailbox receives
(from debian-user and a couple other Debian lists) in a month.
