I would say that depends on the post. In any case, I am judging this
particular user on his overall posting history here on d-u, which began
long before the one mail to which I linked (which is just the most
drastic manifestation of his general attitude).

He did not quote any mails of others that would justify his rudeness and
blatant lack of concern for the mailing list code of conduct.

Just and unjust is in the eye of the beholder. I was trying to make a

occurrence of this very behavior. Case in point: Our friend has just
posted another Spanish message to d-u.
