I also consider hate speech and personal attacks unwelcome if it is
directed at a single person, or a group of person not identified through
race or regligion.

This sentence confuses me, since I can't find a post by Florian Snow
which contains quotes from emails.

Thanks,

If the intent of the moderators was to kill the discussion off, wouldn't
it be illogical to let the messages through which claim that censorship
happens? :-)

FWIW, I am happy that the moderation happens here, since I was already
very close to unsubscribing from this list, of which I have been a
member for more than a century.

Thanks,
Reinhard

I'm very doubtful about Power9 not having such issues, unless:
 - it does not use speculative execution at all
   (and how does it manage being high-performance?)
 - it does not have the "separate VM" features at all

It is less widespread, so maybe nobody has found / publicised an
attack yet...

Hi Reinhard.

Clarification regarding the emails. The quotes from emails that Daniel
Pocock posted on his blog were both the sender/author and the
moderation response. When I wrote that "the quotes from email were
lacking context" I meant that the emails Daniel Pocock posted was not
entirely detailed (according to Florian Snow). Hence my request for
full emails.

As far as I know, hate speech originated as a crime against a group of
humans based on demeaning them for what they look like or believe in.

Personal attacks are something else and are not criminal. Satire uses
personal attacks a lot in art and comedy without meaning a malicious
intent.

Kind regards,
Andreas

ROFLMAO.

Of course I meant decade. Thanks for pointing that out :-)

You are obviously not used to conspiracy theories. Letting this
message through was to make people believe there is no abuse of
moderation, since the claims of censorship are in well-publicised
blogs anyway.

A decade maybe? Or since last century, but not "for more than a
century"?

I would think Andreas Nilsson is mentioning the email from Florian Snow
where he state that Daniel Pocock

"[...] did not receive the full emails or is leaving out important
parts himself. Either way, I saw some of the mails he is referring
to and the quotes are not complete."

so Andreas his asking for the full emails and complete quotes to be made
available so that better judgement can be attained.

Best regards

Miguel
