I don't understand your message, why some people don't understand or some
may read differently. Please explain in more so we can learn. I support
your idea that there are best ways of discussing between different people
but we need to discuss what are the best ways. However, freedom in speech
is not the best way of discussion, so IMHO best practice in discussions is
that people on ietf list know that the IETF is an international
organisation, and that to be polite is not to be free in using English
words/statements.

In my experience on the IETF list, there are people that are not polite,
and no clear regulation is doing any thing clear about it. That makes
freedom as many like it to be. I don't mind freedom as long there is a
police/auditor that can take my rights. Your freedom or any person's
freedom must not conflict with any other person's freedom.
