2: a person who acts in contradiction to his or her stated beliefs or feelings

so whereas you were hell on wheels for people being offtopic for a
'KDE sucks rant', you're perfectly fine with the nostalgia trip
somewhat akin to 'mine's bigger than yours cuz I had hardware that
sucked so much more than yours'

that would be the hypocritical part.

I'd suspect if developers for said list (say it's for widgets),
responded as 'thats OT, take it to another list' for and only for
discussions started about wingdings, but never about foobars - then
yes, they would be hypocrites as well.
