I think all is needed is a gentler reminder. The rationale being that 
you do want to foster discussion (this is what mailists are all about) 
and try to not offend people. We all come from different nationalities 
and cultures.

I can't imagine that there would not be a type of guideline page on the 
Mageia website regarding the etiquette expected on the Mageia mailists. 
But even if the etiquette is broken by a user, that user should be 
gently reminded to follow it with common sense arguments. Most people 
will listen.

It just needs to be a simple reminder. Let's keep it simple.
