Marc, you are hereby warned that you are in clear violation of our
Standards of Conduct, which reflect an agreement and a demand for a
standard of behavior that allows cooperative work and practical discussion.
If you are unable to refrain from personal attacks and abusive and
denigrating behavior, you will be banned from the list immediately for a
period of one month.
You may have disagreements with others, you may express them, and you
may provide an alternative solution so it could be discussed and
possibly embraced, but you will need to abstain from using abusive and
insulting language.
Thank you.
