Just to add a disintered observer perspective: Maybe gmane[0] is screwing with me, or somebody replied to a digest (or didn't include the right mail headers to allow threading) and that screws up all of the thread context. That makes it hard to tell "who started it". In general: I don't find responding to invective with more invective to be productive in any way. Either just call the person out directly in a meta-reply or don't respond at all -- except perhpas in a Gray Rock fashion. (Can't definitively say I haven't succumbed to baiting in the past, but I do try my best not to. Life is too short, honestly. "Strong opinions loosely held", and all that...) [0] It's back as gmane.io!
