Following the "don't feed the troll" principle, i did not answer all your
(and Dima's) previous attacks against myself and the people who currently
work on the Sage infrastructure, but this is going too far. Some examples
include:

- spreading wrong and racist statements about french universities and how
  they manage access to VMs [1]
- suggesting that nobody was working on the migration while you know that
  we are working to set things up correctly (e.g. remote backup system),
  and considering that workers are at your disposal, this is extremly
  patronizing [2]
- maintaining the confusion between university hosting and the very bad
  practices that led us to this situation [3] [4]

If you and Dima deign to apologize and consider the people who work for
Sage with some respect, perhaps might we start a constructive discussion
on the benefits of having a collectively-managed decentralized
University-hosted infrastructure for the Sage services.

Ciao,
Thierry
