That's simply not true.
You may have discussed this with other people in the past, but not with
me. You have sent me all of two mails that were full of insult, none of
which contained anything which could pursuade me into buying your
argument.
The statement that I'm inflexible on this matter is an outright lie (to
use your words) if there ever was one. Even in this very thread I've
revised my opinion on the matter due to arguments which were presented
to me in a _polite_ manner by Anton Zinoviev (before this thread, I was
of the opinion that the transparent copies thing was a serious problem
wrt the DFSG; right now, I'm not so sure anymore).
If you're willing to try to pursuade me, I'm open to a polite discussion
and will promise that I'll perform it in the same manner that I always
do, i.e., with an open mind. But I don't have time to waste on personal
abuse. Other than that,

Ditto. Insulting people because they disagree with you is a very good
way to make sure they won't like talking to you. Making sure people
don't like talking to you is a very good way to deteriorate the way
people generally feel in an organisation.
And that's my final word on your behaviour. Again, if you're willing to
politely discuss it, so am I; but I resent being called inflexible and I
refuse to listen to anyone who's main modus operandi seems to be to
throw any insult they can come up with in my general direction.
