Just to note that there have been worse examples of personal attacks in some Mailbase lists and it is wondered whether there is some kind of regulation in the Mailbase lists to ensure that all members in the lists may participate in the debates without being subjected to personal discrediting campaigns (both intentional or unintentional). Since the members are the stakeholders in the Mailbase lists, it may be worth to explore this issue for maiximising benefits at the least personal costs.
