Small point of order here. It's not "blame" being assessed
here, so much as responsibility. They're asking you (and all
of us) to act like adults and not respond to flame bait. It's
a time-honored Rara Avis tradition.
By so doing you also leave it to the mods to handle said,
"loud mouth."
Oh, and by the way, no one's suggesting you not respond to
flame-bait, merely that you do so without an audience
(offlist). What's wrong with that?

It worked on Rara Avis for the better part of a decade until
very recently. If you had a bit more time on the list under
your belt, you might have been cognizant of that. Not
suggesting that you're part of the problem, you understand,
just making a point.
All the Best-
Brian
