Rainer , You miss my point. I am trying to deliver the message that it is in my opinion unacceptable for people to use oath and insults in public. Doesn't matter in a pub, in a shop, in a mailing list, in a class, in a street, whatever. It can be acceptable in gangsta rap, in rednecks societies, in Louis CK stand-up.
Linus, Lennart, Theo de Raadt, they are all criticised for using inappropriate language. Debian is also blamed for lacking a little discipline in the public mailing lists. I think we should be like people in BSDs (comparing because I know what I'm about), professional and friendly, this at the same time also leads to proper documentation (caring about others). I'm not cringing in disgust, instead I'm saying that there is something else we should excess at, and in my opinion it is valuable. I don't agree with Linus that respect has to be earned; I reckon it should be shown to everyone around (well, at least publicly).
