No-one is in fact obliged to respond to you on foundation-l, indeed many WMF employees and WMF and chapter volunteers don't read it, referring instead to it as troll-l. It would be nice if this weren't the case.
I know a good way to help achieve that. Ban the trolls. It's what we do on the wiki, and it works.
I think MZ has a reasonable misunderstanding, and was just horribly unpleasant in his phrasing. Hence my attempt to address his concerns properly, even speaking just as any old volunteer.
I don't think Jimmy was calling _me_ a troll. I assume (in good faith) that he was speaking generally.
Jimmy has previously made way too many off-the-cuff remarks that have gotten him into hot water to repeat that mistake again, surely.
