Sadly, this list isn't fully moderated: the only way to stop any particular thread is not to contribute to it. I spend some time monitoring in case threads become acrimonious: I also post an FAQ here once a month reminding folk here of the Debian Code of Conduct. It's probably worth another reminder, formally, from me as a member of the Debian Community Team, that people posting to the list are respectfully asked to abide by the Code of Conduct. Be polite, be constructive, be helpful - don't fan the flames of flame wars. No one of us is perfect: the temptation to just add a bit more when you are irritated or something is wrong on the internet can be very strong. Obligatory xkcd cartoon: https://xkcd.com/386 It's also quite easy to criticise the perpetrators of long threads: the easiest way to stop them is not to add to them. I could always add the how to unsubscribe to the FAQ - but if people don't read mail headers and footers on the list, they won't read the FAQ either :( > > So, please, shut the two threads down, so the mailing list can return to the > subject matter for which the list was created and is maintained; discussionWW > of the use of Debian, and, seeking help with the operating system, and, not > the extraneous (extreme euphemism) "stuff", that has arisen, like a living, > growing, cesspool. > > Thank you in anticipation > With every good wish, as ever, Andy Cater [amaca...@debian.org] For the Debian Community Team > .. > Bret Busby > Armadale > West Australia > (UTC+0800) > .............. >
