Looks as if you didn't follow all the details of the discussions. Some persons stated that they will leave the list because they don't like discussions. And the "warning of participants with more sensitive disposition" and indirect call for moderators I was citing above, is essentially the same direction. To stop discussion...

It is sometimes very difficult to find out who did throw the first stone. Some people already see it as a personal attack if their arguments are not listened to. Then, they try to reformulate and put more and more push into being understood. And after a while they are called penetrant etc. which is of course a comment about the person and no longer their intention and they start to defend by addressing the other persons.
