I am not sure - if there is a problem with the system we lost a chance to find and fix it. If the problem leads to many non english users and small businesses to avoid using the lists we all lose out.
You are deluding yourself if you think that it was possible to sensibly debug this problem with Mr. Xu. His actions proved beyond a doubt that there was no hope of a reasonable dialogue. On the other hand, people who politely address themselves to me or to the list almost always get help with their problems. The first line of help is usually "look at the instructions at the bottom of every message". But people who report problems with these instructions almost always get further detailed help. As far as problems with non-english users, that is highly unlikely. Apache.org hosts hundreds of mailing lists with well over 50,000 total subscribers. If there was any systematic issue of this type, I would have heard about it. There may be other issues that apply to very small subsets of users, and I would be happy discussing a problem with anyone who believes they face such an issue. I will not deal with people who are rude or inconsiderate to others, except by banishing them from the list.
