For me, the reason I have read a lot of the notes similarly to the way
John did is in part the way the conversation started.
If it ha started with "hey, I see that we don't have IPv6 support for
our email now. When did that stop and why?" Anc then waited for staff
to have a chance to answer, that would have been understandable. But
the thread started with "staff did something wrong". (To be clear
Stephen, I think your email was sufficient far down-thread that I have
no perception of your attitude, and would likely be wrong if I guessed.)
Yours,
Joel

I read almost but not all of the messages in these threads.
In none of that did I make any such accusation. I also didn't
see such things stated by others. (But if they did, then do
call those out specifically.)
Tarring all criticism that way is basically a distraction. I
guess that's based on some kind of knee-jerk reaction due to
frustration, but I'd encourage you to re-read what was actually
written and perhaps answer that instead.
Thanks,
S.
