I didn't notice that they are Canonical employees ; anyway:
  1)I'm glad to follow the rules here and in fact I'm not RTFM'ing 
anyone -I only think that the rules are myopic in this case and at odds 
with what the hacker community has long devised as correct process -for 
several reasons.

  2)Canonical employees are not "my boss". They are, at best, the 
maintainers and moderators of this ML.

  3) I'm quite worried that apparently such a code of conduct has 
nothing to say about silencing dissenting opinions -like you, Lucio suggest.

Anyway, end of story. We agree to disagree and move on.
