As is the nature of private e-mails I cannot and hence will not comment
on any alleged replies to them.

So if I - as a random community member - told you that you should think
more closely before doing X, that would weigh the same in your mind you
as if the CC had said the same to you?

If you can define the acceptable level of disruptive behaviour in an
objectively measurable, I'd be more than happy to see it.

Two scenarios: a) Your neighbour tells you to turn down the stereo, and
b) your landlord shows up with a notice of eviction if you don't turn
down your stereo. The matter is the same: Someone thinks you're too
loud. The message is the same: Please stop it. Yet, I see a major
difference, and I'd hope you do, too.

That's up to you, of course, but I'm not sure I understand what you'd do
instead?
