I, your list administrator, am never in front of my computer enough to
reprimand people on the spot for dodgy behavior. It a task that has no
appeal to me whatsoever. But since I am in India on an extended
business trip, possibly through June, I'm in front of my computer less
often than usual and also much less inclined to be a heavy.
FWIW, I've seen a lot of insults worse than "dickhead" on the
internets. I also think it's unreasonable to hold someone whom I
assume is a contracted artist for a tiny, boutique record label to the
same standards as a full-time employee of a larger company.
The intent and tone of the original message weren't entirely clear (and
neither was the gender of the person on the cover to me, at least
initially), so it's not entirely surprising that things escalated.
Even so, the public insults should stop, now, especially now that all
relevant parties have made their positions known.
