Whoa! Hey! Slow down there cowboy... it seems u trying to bring some
logic and common sense - well hell, in the words of many immortal
slashdot commenters, 'you must be new around here'.
You c, debian-user@ldo was recently purchased by Dice Holdings:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dice.com
and so there's a certain <ahem>standard</> that must be maintained.
This is why there was such a push for the Debian COC (Code Of
Conduct), to <ahem>lift the standard</>.
The Internet *is* my pulpit, no matter -what- I have to say.
