This one might come back to bite you. I, along with probably twenty
others, "disrupted the collaborative space" on the Debian-User mailing
list during the Systemd Civil War, and I'd do it over again because of
the technological and practical importance of preserving an alternative
to systemd. I'd even like to believe that in a small way I helped
recruit more people to the Devuan (Debian Fork) project.

My posting rights were removed, basically, for "disrupting the
collaborative space", and that's fine: Guilty as charged. But here's
the thing: The list was moderated by a systemd advocate, who let the
pro-systemd fanatics disrupt the collaborative space to their hearts'
content with only the mildest wrist slaps, while removing posting
rights of several anti-systemd people.

"Disrupting the collaborative space" is very hard to define even when
nobody has an agenda. When there are agendas, it almost certainly will
lead to selective enforcement.

Be careful what you wish for :-)
