Indeed, given the toxicity on this list, I had presumed there was no moderation 
(any more).  If it is that modereration is being applied, it is either sorely 
deficient, or an indication of the language that GNU permits (in spite of the 
'kind communication' document).  Which is a good demonstration of why people 
might not find it a welcoming organization.
