"a bit rich" implies inconsistency.  I assure you both emails are quite 
consistent.  They're both a case of someone posting something silly to 
this list and me getting snappy about it.

If you'd called me on civility alone, well, you'd have been 100% right. 
   While everything I said to Molu was true, it did not, perhaps, need 
to be said, and *definitely* did not need to be said in such a tone. 
Molu: I am sorry, my post was rude and insulting.  I always aim to be 
straightforward, but there is a line between "being straightforward" and 
"being a dick" and I crossed it.
