Of course I need to follow them. The crucial thing is that this can be
said in a respectful way, like you did. No need to be insulting.

This is not a personal issue at all. This behavior is a problem not
just for me (it wouldn’t matter, I could just refrain from ever
contributing). It is a problem for the project.
I think it is crucially important that you as a community recognize that
this behavior is not acceptable. There’s nothing personal in doing
that; it’s the behavior that we should condemn, not the person.
It would be a missed opportunity if, once again, this behavior is
quietly excused.
Thank you Niels for having taken the time to reply.
