I similarly posted a reply to a subthread in one of the recent visibly offensive threads (explicitly Subject-marked as a subthread, and not actually discussing the ostensible topic of the main thread), and that reply never made it to the list AFAICT. > I strive to make reasoned posts free of insults, attacks, and foul > language.

At the very least, if a message I send to the list is not actually going to be posted, I would expect a reply (whether human-initiated or fully automated) indicating that the message is not going to be posted, and preferably including some explanation of why. -- The Wanderer The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
