This is a very active mailing list with a lot of participants so it's
hardly surprising that it behaves like a microcosm.
Delete the threads that don't interest you and move on - it's easiest to
deal with that way.
For the most part, the most vociferous are knowledgeable with good
intentions but it's easy for a disagreement to lose perspective and
tact.
