I don't mind decent technical discussion, nor does anyone else does.
This is what CodeOfConduct says:

  Be respectful and considerate: 
      * Disagreement is no excuse for poor behaviour or personal

        uncomfortable is not a productive one. 

I do not want to receive comments like this one from strangers on any
mailing lists I'm on:
