Personal attacks and unkind communication are not acceptable. They should be denounced and can be moderated as a last resort.
But please understand the situation that we have been put in. The topics discussed here are extremely controversial. It's all too easy for people to be offended by one-another, or to interpret one-another's words especially harshly.
If one particular group of people is behaving more kindly than others, then that is good---that group is acting as the better example for kind communication. Others acting unkindly, even if they feel as though they are defending GNU, are in the wrong.
But coming to this list, raising an inflammatory topic, and then demanding that moderation be used as a tool to reduce tensions is not acceptable either. We'll strike a balance.
