Oh really? How is the follwing a constructive comment?
Since when is
demanding civility does not end well? Do I really need to have "list mod

*Please* do not use straw man arguments, or at least, please disguise
them better -- The statement that Johnleemk is referring to is:
"I am warning you all that this is a moderated mailing list."
Which is manifestly not 'demanding civility', and is also manifestly not:
"If you don't understand the importance of getting details right, should
you be editing Wikipedia?"
Also, it never does good to 'demand' civility -- practice it, and hope
people follow your example.
