To be sure. At the same time, you know how it goes with public IRC
channels and mailing lists. Being public, there's only so much that can
usefully be done to discourage bratty and unconstructive behaviour.

For example, if I spoke intemperately here (or you did, or any of a vast
number of people), that could be claimed to reflect badly on Devuan
Project, but in reality that's just part of how the Internet works.
