It's a discussion list, Hugh. People are not always going to agree, and some
folks are going to find other people's stance on particular issues to be
offensive. There is a BIG difference between "your point of view on this
matter is offensive to me" and "you are a troll because you don't agree with
me."

One is an issue-oriented statement, the other is a personal attack. One is
appropriate to a discussion list, and the other is not.

Surely you can see the difference?
