+I think all is needed is a gentler reminder. The rationale being that 
+you do want to foster discussion (this is what mailists are all about) 
+and try to not offend people. We all come from different nationalities 
+and cultures.
+
+I can't imagine that there would not be a type of guideline page on the 
+Mageia website regarding the etiquette expected on the Mageia mailists. 
+But even if the etiquette is broken by a user, that user should be 
+gently reminded to follow it with common sense arguments. Most people 
+will listen.
+
+It just needs to be a simple reminder. Let's keep it simple.
