It will surprise you, but I'm neither a DD nor is buildd.net an official
part of Debian. So, what make you believe, you can extend the SC to outside
resources or people?

Really? Can you prove this? I'm really not convinced of that after this

Me too... but ask for the reasons why people get upset and not just the
symptom that they are upset.

I really appreciate that you stand in for a more polite way of interacting
and I hope that you'll jump in as well when f.e. asuffield is being impolite
to others ("you're an idiot, you're a moron, twit,...").
And as someone stated before: realword conversations are always different
and tend to be more polite. But that is valid for both sides. And yes, I
would be criticise the same people in RL as well.
