Badgering Contributors to the List

I received numerous criticisms of a recent posting.  All of them
arrived as private mail, not addressed to the list.  Each was a
dispute of a minor point of retoric not related to the content of the
message or the role of the GNU project.  I posted each of my responses
to the list, because I recognize this kind of badgering as a tactic
used on the gnu-misc-discuss mailing list to badger people.  I had
expressly forbidden this tactic in an early charter of the
info-gnu-msdos mailing list charter.  I regret that I later edited
those details.

I suspect that there are numerous would-be contributors that fear to
share their comments because of these tactics.  I do not believe that
the assault on my conduct had anything to do with sexism, but was
primarily a form of harrassment of GNU contributors.  -David-
