I do not at all condone or defend the kind of language that is used many
times in his mails, and I certainly do not want people to be driven away
from the list. I was merely stating the strategy I use, to live with

I believe that the moderators of the mailing list have the wisdom and
the experience to take the right decision, for the common good, and I
will fully support that decision.
