This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

But that's a social shortcoming on your part, blaming the messenger for the 
message.

If the behaviour is repetitive, it's repetitive. We have now a fresh example 
of 'Affirming P was an isolated tiny thing I don't think anyone should be 
offended by it'. In a few days we'll have 'Since P, then Q'.

Ignoring that and making the protest sound like thought police seems (seems) 
disingenuous.
