What does this mean exactly?

In the past I have already called attention to the inappropriate, indeed
IMHO 'obscene' display of 'fiddling while Rome is burning' attitude that
you display by posting your notices of volleyball tourneys on the GA list.
 What more can we do except complain at this juncture?

Oh give us break with your purported self-sacrificing, self-righteous
martyrdom for the 'development' of people!  Without business there is no
development! After all, what exactly do you mean by development?

Why don't you tell us what you really want, eh comrade?

With due respect to the victims, I hardly think that the first response of
anyone caught in the Peruvian earthquake was to rush to find a connected
computer to download an email from the GA list to see if Erick Iriarte
Ahon is a Spanish-speaking humanitarian!  Not only was your post
completely irrelevant to the BUSINESS of this list, but your continued
indignant attitude is completely ridiculous.  How about giving us some
opinion(s) on matters that affect DNS issues for a change?
