Seriously, if it's going to be a norm to react to perfectly normal e-mails like this with public scolding and strong words like "shaming people" and "assuming ill intent", I should probably reconsider if I want to be part of such "community" and participate in openSUSE mailing lists because I could also become a victim of this "politeness police" soon.
Absolutely not.
I'm not so sure, just check Mr. Brown's reply next to yours. He apparently believes I already violated all kinds of policies and norms of behaviour and wrote so quite unambiguously.

And yet, if you look at the reply of mine everyone should note that I took great care to avoid naming names and keeping things ambiguious. I wanted to be sure that while citing the example I avoided contributing to the problem of 'shaming people on the list' and undermining my agreement with Neal's concerns. If you look further into the incident being referenced in my post, it is clearly recorded in that bug that any concerns I had regarding anyones compliance with policies and norms were originally addressed in a private comment. So I have been consistant in my attempts to avoid shaming anyone in public and avocating for respectful discourse and decorum. I don't think invoking my name directly and clearly associating yourself with my ambiguously cited example helps prove the point you're trying to prove.
