I have fully understood your problem even before reading the
subsequent discussion.

On this planet we human have specific rules of behavior, manner or
etiquette. There is something called netiquette as well, for network
related communication. 

On GNU mailing lists we strive, but not force, to adhere to the below
guidelines.

GNU Kind Communications Guidelines

For me, I totally understand your style of talking and did not find
anything offensive. This may be because I have spent time in parts of
world with similar communication style. There are parts of world where
heavy profanities are used to greet familiar people and it means
nothing. 

I can fully understand Drew and Eli, as your style of talking is
simply not proper for everybody and everywhere.

You are in global communication exchange. Mailing list spans any
countries on the planet. We have different ways of expressing
ourselves and we have to find common ways. GNU Kind Communication
Guideline is a way to reach that goal.

It is good reading books about international business manners, that
will give you idea how to get communication across in such way that it
does not get rejected due to your local style of expressions.

Issue is to find global common and acceptable style of
communication. Maybe following references may help further:
