I didn't say what I said on his first rant, it was his second.  I
pointed him to to rules of conduct and told him to abide them or to
leave if he didn't like it.  I stand by my post.  I adapted my way of
using e-mail for this list, he can do the same.  Look back through the
thread and you'll see that I offered a suggestion that he use a decent
client, just like a few other people did.

When he came back telling us what to do, well....

Do you think it's appropriate for someone to come on this list and bash
Debian for not being what they want instead of asking Debian users how
to achieve what they want?

It's just as bad as people moving into a country and then telling the
natives to modify their culture to suit them.  It should be the other
way around.
