References please.
For a start, I can offer you a threat of "forcibly assisted"
unsubscription:

That was an interesting read.
No well adjusted and reasonably polite person engaged in discussion with
another should expect to be addressed with the kind of rhetoric Steve
used in the referenced thread. You wouldn't stand listening to someone
in the pub talking to you like that so why should you in here?
Anand's threat (which it undoubtedly was) in his closing paragraph to
remove Steve didn't bother me at all; I hate ranting personal abuse. But
he lost the plot with "or you continue on this topic", which translates
to "I'll remove you from the mailling list if I don't like what you're
talking about". Anyone with that attitude shouldn't be allowed to run a
mailling list.
followed by setting up a tar pit for the thread in question:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2006/03/msg01528.html
I have no understanding of what has been done here.
