quv Hutlh HoHbogh tlhIngan 'ach qabDaj 'angbe'bogh.

As qurgh says, no one other than him should be enforcing mailing list
policy off-list, much less threatening to ban anyone.

I don't see any evidence that he was treated any differently than you.

Some of us who are inclined to be helpful to beginners no matter how
silly their questions are tried to help. Some others who are inclined
to be more insulting to people who make unreasonable demands insulted
and mocked him. I think your memory is selective.

I replied to him with a question: {tlhIngan Hol Dalo'be'chugh, qatlh
ghurbogh mu'tay' DaSaH?}

ghunchu'wI' wrote: "you should demonstrate an ability to use the known
vocabulary before suggesting that you need more words".

lojmIt tI'wI' nuv 'utlh wrote a dismissive parable about a random
passerby giving unsolicited advice.

The thread is called "19 new words to create" for anyone interested in
what else was said.

I don't see anyone "surrendering" to him, nor do I imagine any of the
respondents would have said anything differently to you if you had
made the same request for new vocabulary. As a long-time member of
this list, I can say that the reactions were fairly typical.

lugh QISta'. That person's original email triggered the usual spam
traps, so it wasn't seen by everyone.
