You started in attack mode and continued in attack mode. This is not a
good way to get anyone to bother talking to you.

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.

Approaches such as yours, which merely makes you look like you're out
for a fight, are why. Please reconsider.
