Which do not include not discussing appropriate software for Kubuntu.

It's certainly not my _personal_ list, but it is, as I say "our" list.  What 
arrogance.

You should take that to heart - you have never yet closed discussion of a 
topic politely, and I particularly resent it because the first time you did 
it to me, you publicly berated me (obviously a COC violation) for ignoring 
you, conveniently ignoring the fact that we may not necessarily see _your_ 
posts before ours leave our system.  And I got no apology.

And no users should be afraid to talk about software relevant to our 
systems.
