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.
