A belligerent response does not mean that someone's action was
offensive.

Whether a message is polite or not is a question of what it says.  My
message pointed out what is right to do, but did not make a demand.
It did not attack or even criticize anyone.  It was polite and
inoffensive.

My message did not _cause_ anyone to leave the list.  Some people
chose to leave the list, slamming the door behind them metaphorically,
but that was a gesture.  They did it as a demand to gag me.

They did not have to do that.  They could easily have let my message
pass without responding.  If they had done so, this side-discussion
would have been over so fast they'd hardly have noticed it.

Don't worry about them -- they will probably come back.
