I think he was banned from this mailing list for the time being, so he
would have to apologize elsewhere; but I agree that would help make amends.
I would also ask him to avoid making the issues personal.

But to be honest, I don't think it will happen.
He has an history of communication issues in the wiki[1][2], and apparently
in the russian community [3].


Altogether we can use our time/power for better stuff than this exhausting

I think this discussion got derailed a lot, but I saw some goals:
(1) as a general guideline, when should the user be allowed to use
semicolons; and
(2) what are the merits of semicolons and "indexed" keys.

I recommend we start a new thread to focus on that.
