Being polite on mailing lists

I have read a lot of mailing lists in the past. But I haven't stumbled across one where the tone tends to become more rude than on the PEAR developers mailing list: The blowoff has been reached today when someone told someone else to stop sucking peoples d*ck.

WTF? Even if this wasn't meant serious (and I think he actually meant it absolutely serious), this is simply outrageous: I wonder if the author of the mail also said this to the recipient if they met in person?

Sigh, at least I'm having a great day today :-).
