This is a mail which I am writing as a member of the Debian Community Team.
I would like to remind you - and all involved in this discussion - of the
Debian Code of Conduct and mailing list code of conduct.
One thing that is asked of all of us is to be respectful and constructive.
I think the above two paragraphs are not constructive and are impolite.
I would ask you to consider carefully that this does not show you in your best
light and was unnecessary. At the end of every email is another human being:
each of us has different experience, needs, and an absolutely individual
experience of Debian. Karen has her own needs: I don't think that this
particular exchange has been helpful and doesn't show this list in a
good light.
if you were to meet in a social setting, would you feel as justified in
being blunt? If not, then please also reconsider your tone for the
future: not every email needs to be replied to, certainly not in this way
if you cannot add anything useful.

but that actually these comments were unnecessary.
