Thank you, Christian, spot on.

I had some interesting conversations at the Isabelle workshop in Princeton. The
tone of the isabelle mailing list is perceived as amusingly agressive by
outsiders. I don't find it amusing, I find it aggarvating.

Taking a dig at someone via a ceterum censeo in a signature is not helpful, but
"You have no business here" is downright rude.

Can everybody please watch their language? I may be old fashioned, but saying
"Please do not ... because ..." instead of "You have no business here" makes all
the difference. As my grandmother, god bless her, used to say: "Der Ton macht
die Musik".
