[anti-abuse-wg] Reminder: Mailing List Code of Conduct

Hi,

I apologise for my recent poor behavior and my use of profanity
(specifically the word "bullshit") - I have grown much less tolerant of
large tech and as society is losing this war anyway, it is causing me
enormous amounts of stress. When innocent things happen that contribute
negatively to the advancement of a free and open society and play into
the hands of the dominating players, I lose my cool... 

This is not cool and not fair to you and I am sorry :(

I do understand that my behavior does not serve my cause and I am not a
nice enough person to simply be myself on this list, so my choices are
to be someone else or to leave. 

So long and thanks for all the fish,

Andre
