I similarly posted a reply to a subthread in one of the recent visibly offensive threads (explicitly Subject-marked as a subthread, and not actually discussing the ostensible topic of the main thread), and that reply never made it to the list AFAICT. > I strive to make reasoned posts free of insults, attacks, and foul > language.
