Hacker News Reader

ESR posted a long string of emails, many worse than this. Saying this one is the reason he was banned is cherry picking things in his favor.

You are right. This was his first respond to the weird Persona Non Grata idea, the actual attack came later, as I learned: (now deleted) http://lists.opensource.org/pipermail/license-discuss_lists....

This one isn't bad at all. Would you mind pointing me to one that actually is?

http://lists.opensource.org/pipermail/license-discuss_lists.... quotes the email from him that apparently finally got him banned.
