Hi all, my short answer is: no.

Dear list, it seems a number of appeals to get the discussion on this list to become friendly and constructive again have failed. Over the time, me and others have tried (in public and in private) to nudge people to be considerate, and also to moderate discussions (in the sense of balancing positions - if anyone's interested in my private suggestions, there's no problem to share them. Though they're quite boring references to the communication best practices). I find the most recent escalation unbearable, and don't want to be exposed to that sort of language, even less so in public. Others have expressed similar sentiment. Additionally the board has their hands full with tasks working for the future of TDF. It would be great, if in our volunteer time, we would be able to concentrate on positive topics. The only practically effective solution I currently see, for that problem, is to put this list on moderation. We all share a collective duty to keep TDF & LibreOffice a friendly and fun place.
Longer answer:True that some used some colourful language, they will be told to avoid that, but that doesn't really happen that often.
Others are open exchanges of point of views and often useful information that should be taken in consideration when developing policies and decisions.
People have different way of communicating which can be seen sometimes as "passive-aggressive" if sentences are not understood in their context and with a bit of background information.
Following long discussions might be a bit of a pain but one can take informed decisions only if has a wider understanding of the issues.
Cheers, -- Thorsten
