This comment makes no sense at all. It assumes that people who joined the other list should, for some reason, be extra-civil over here on the rough'n'tumble Purple list. And if they get tetchy or argumentative here, they're hypocrites.
I guess that's because that's the "some reason" that that list was supposedly created to begin with. And the reason why people here were encouraged to join that list. And the reason why some claimed they did so. So, if someone joins a list whose entire reason for existing claims to be its civility, why shouldn't its members be accused of hypocrisy when they come back here and engage in the very behavior they claim drove them away?
It's also a typically shoddy tactic: claim that the other person _should_ follow some rule of behavior that you've invented for them, and accuse them of hypocrisy or dishonesty when they _don't_.
Actually, you guys invented that rule for yourselves.
For _our_ list. _This_ list is Open Season.
