Such as escalating your annoyance about an off-list message back onto the list?

This is sometimes true. It is also sometimes true that people need to be more
careful with how they express themselves to avoid giving offence to others. In
many cases, both are true. Wikipedians have such diverse backgrounds that we
need to make allowances in both directions.

You should probably care: your emails break the sequence connecting a reply to
the original message, and not just in Gmail by the looks of things. Each of
your emails appears to be the start of a new thread, rather than being a reply
to an old one.
