Then do stop attacking the man, as this email does right now,
recognize that argumentum ad hominem is a logical fallacy, and desis
from personalizing things, if you do not want people to take things
personally. Getting uncivil and confrontational does not improve the
mailing list, and is not beneficial to the project.

While I might think this is pot calling kettle black; that is
immaterial. Unless your argument is that I am wrong and the
silent majority is in favour of mud slinging and personal
attacks on the mailing list, you are definitely in the wrong when
promoting confrontation and personal attacks as acceptable on the
mailing list.
We can, of course, involve the mailing list managers, but I had
hoped that we could return to civil discourse without the heavy stick
of the managers reproof.
