You quoted yourself as saying

but you quoted yourself out of context. Here's the entire sentence
from your previous message:
If anyone wants to tell me about the name I use for the operating
system, please do so in private mail so I can safely consign your
messages to /dev/null.
That wasn't questioning our policies--it was spitting on them. Its
attitude towards the FSF was hostile and bullying. That is misuse of
a list meant for the FSF's friends.
It is necessary to state this on the list, because silence about the
matter could be interpreted as acquiescence.
Please stop misusing this list.
