I strongly agree. The list monitor mechanism is currently
designed in a way that complaints from outside the team
trigger a monitor team reaction. We can and should not bend 
the rules in a way that everything taken as provocation 
receives a sanction. Some people are evidently provoked
by most everything Dave Crocker or Kent Crispin say, but
this goes the other way around as well. To avoid judging
people using our personal standards, we should focus on
the individual complaints (obviously taking into account
patterns of behaviour) and adhere to the standards in the 
list rules.
