ET is right, I am afraid to say this. I cannot count the number of times this person has fired out, insulted, then asked pardon, justifying some personal issues which do not belong to any mailing list, then repeat the process almost within the hour. If he is so defensive and threatening towards so many people, this is because these responders also feel offended by his words. There is a democratic process going on, a natural finger pointing of someone who just abuses the fact that there are no moderators in this list. Some of us try to resolve this one way or the other but nothing will be done if no one takes action, gas bagging and cackering instead in the drainpipe of opinionated expression. The latter is useless. Action can solve everything.
