Can we put a cap on this before people decide that they have better things to do than develop Mailman.
I'm sure there is mailing list for naive political rants but I would prefer not to be subscribed to it.
If that list is the Mailman-Developers list them I'm off!

What ever happened to rationality? When did emotional moping take precedence over sanity?
Please accept it as a rational fact that many people will often react emotionally to what they see. And please accept it as a rational fact that the ways in which superpowers often treat weaker countries tend to make a lot of people in those weaker countries emotionally upset.
Ok. I didn't say it was not a fact that they may become upset. What I dispute is whether they are responsible for being upset over what they read or whether the writer is responsible. I, like most others who value Liberty, hold adults responsible for thier emotion and think that the State/Collective/Whatever should decidedly NOT be in the business of managing individuals emotions as that is a prelude to a very deep tyranny involving "thought crime" and such. I give up trying to explain. I cannot argue against the "Earth as a Big Kindergarten" theory of Socialism from which the "emotionally upset" argument seems to stem.
