it doesn't look like they disagreed with what Masataka said, just how they said it
As I said: : But, I agree with you that it is stupid that IETF shut off FTP : service to the public only because of a decision of a committee : consisting of stupid and hardworking guys to pretend as if they : were working hard contributing to general public. if they don't disagree with me on the stupidity, my statement to recognize their stupidity as such should be accepted as fair criticism. In addition, that "uncivil" is poorly defined word is not my problem. See, for example, America’s nonviolent civil rights movement was considered uncivil by critics at the time https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-nation/wp/2018/07/04/the-civil-rights-movement-might-have-been-nonviolent-but-to-critics-it-was-considered-uncivil/ It should also be noted that the second amendment of US constitution recognizes even lethally violent criticisms as an essential component of civil rights.
