You quoted yourself as saying

    <quote>
    If anyone wants to tell me about the name I use for the operating
    system, please do so in private mail
    </quote>

but you quoted yourself out of context.  Here's the entire sentence
from your previous message:

    If anyone wants to tell me about the name I use for the operating
    system, please do so in private mail so I can safely consign your
    messages to /dev/null.

That wasn't questioning our policies--it was spitting on them.  Its
attitude towards the FSF was hostile and bullying.  That is misuse of
a list meant for the FSF's friends.

It is necessary to state this on the list, because silence about the
matter could be interpreted as acquiescence.

Please stop misusing this list.
