This also gives those people an opportunity to give back, which
is a GoodThing(tm) at any (every) level.

Agreed. If we don't police ourselves from that type of behaviour
it will harm the community.
I do not know any of the attackers or the person attacked. 
It may well have been an over-sensitivity too. ???  Either way,
those probably aren't bad people (they are Zope users after all
<g>) just maybe had a bad day.  Maybe a public posting (without
further comment) will cause them to think before typing?
