I appreciated your first messages in this thread.
I think perhaps you have continued in the same style without fully
considering the implications of doing so.
Pointing out that something has value once is constructive.
Trying to create a reduction like you did above particularly on a topic
like religion or like the worth of someone else's sacred text is going
to (as another person pointed out) start a culture war.
Your point will be lost in the strength of others reactions.
I think it has crossed into the realm of not so constructive.
I do think there are constructive things you could do:
* Maintain the package with filtering if you believe that's best.
* Maintain the package without filtering if you believe that's best;
take the position of being a maintainer and force those who disagree
with you to fight the uphill battle of overriding a maintainer.
* State your support to be counted in any determination of consensus and
leave it at that.
B ut please don't fan the flames.
Thanks,
