So, we are supposed to just ignore things? Almost all the other lists
have some sort of etiquette, either written or implied. I think that is
what those of us who dislike Fenton's post are seeking. There is no
etiquette at all in his posts. His response is "if you don't like it,
delete me", which seems stupid. Why can't we just all agree that
insults, implied or not, are not to be tolerated at all on the list?

Two things:
1) People who are deliberately rude do it because they wish to get a
rise out of people, so as to validate their own existence. The way to
control such behavior is simply not to respond. At all.
2) Telling someone they are rude is itself rude. If someone insults
you, manners says that you should either pretend not to have heard
anything or give the offender the opportunity to retract by saying
"Excuse me?"
