I'm sorry but I'm not sure I understand you. Do you really want to say that quoting a slightly extended version of a famous illustrative example found in various mailing list netiquette documents, e.g.
https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/articles/mailing-list-faq/etiquette.html https://tilde.wiki/mailing_lists#top-posting
is supposed to be considered "shaming people"?
Michal Kubecek IMHO that is not what Neal is saying at all. But there's a huge difference between banging just a $URL in the face and "Could you please not blah, see $URL", agreed?
And I don't understand you now either. Vojtěch's e-mail started with "Bottom-posting is the standard here. Let's keep it so." - and Neal even quoted this part in his e-mail. While there is no "Could you please", I find the fact that such innocuous e-mail received this kind of bashing, extremely disturbing.
Me too.
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.
I was. :-/
This is all ridiculous... And also ironic that Neal accuses people of "public shaming" and "assuming ill intent" in an e-mail where he is doing exactly that.
