The point is that their replies to the mailing list waste a lot of |
| 13 |
time and energy since people will *always* reply to them. Even if half |
| 14 |
the community decides (out of the half that hasn't unsubscribed or |
| 15 |
left because of them) not to reply to them, someone from the other |
| 16 |
half will reply, and the thread will again spiral downwards. |

We all know PMS exists. When the developer community thinks it's |
| 29 |
ready, council will approve it. |

replies with personal attacks[1][2][3][4][...]. |
