not at all.  And we really feel bad for being forced to revert to such

There is no written policy. Some people in the past 2 days have passed
the border of a reasonable discussion.  The arguments are going in

on a dead end and it must be stopped for respect of the other
subscribers.


Yesterday I have asked to all participants to this thread[1]

Nobody wants to ban anybody, but we will do it if forced.
