Because I have now been contacted via my personal email by 3 different people on this list I'm going to say to anyone who thinks it is appropriate to contact someone only to then boss them about or be rude to them you are mistaken.
I'm a Trinity user and as a Trinity user I will voice my opinion regarding any topic that comes up on this list. If my opinion upsets anyone I formally tend my apology. I will not stand back however and have anyone contact me privately and have a go at me when the topics are on the list for the entire global population to see and read. If you don't like a certain discussion discussion it is your right to stay out of it, no one is forcing you to take part in it but do not contact someone privately only to call them names, tell them not to pollute a mailing list, to tell them they have led a sheltered life, etc etc etc.
If you don't like what I say that's fine, comment in the discussion that is going on and express your opinion. If you can't manage that do not contact me via my personal email so no one else can read your comments.

If politics and factual error deserve any reply at all that reply should be off this list. A private reply is not just appropriate but considerate.

When a discussion is on list for everyone to see then it appropriate to either take part on list or to not take part at all. Contacting someone privately to have a go at them, to twist what they said, or to complain about others, is not in any way shape or form appropriate.

Correct when the subject is on-topic, which this was not.
Requests to stop off-topic posts are best made off-list.

Mike, requests to stop off topic posts are best made on list so that all concerned see the request.
