No, but they are rude in context. The fact that you do not work within the
context of that particular conversation makes them rude. Perhaps you don't
see the context. If so, maybe others could help you figure out when and how
to contribute to a mailing list in the most effective manner.

Sorry, I did not see it as a personal attack. I saw it as a response to
your inappropriate email and a plea to you to please help us all be more
effective in our efforts to promote free software. The way you currently
jump into conversations often hurts our goals as much as it helps.

As many on this list know, I respond - sometimes privately and sometimes
publicly - whenever I see passion matched with behavior that is making them
ineffective. Everyone is welcome to take my advice, ignore my advice or
discuss it. I try to learn from every interaction. (I also try not to jump
in very often. :)

Happy to take this offline now.
