(The Terms apply to OpenJDK mailing lists too.)

  3. ACCESS TO THE SITE AND THINGS YOU FIND HERE.
   b. Use at Your Own Risk.

"If Hosts become aware of Submissions that violate these Terms or that 
Hosts believe to be obscene, lewd, lascivious, excessively violent, 
harassing, or otherwise objectionable, they may act in good faith to 
restrict access to or availability of the material. If You notice that 
any other User's Submissions appear to violate these Terms, or if any 
other User makes You feel harassed or unsafe, You agree to contact us 
immediately."

In the view of the Hosts (Oracle), some recent mails to the list have 
sailed dangerously close to violating these Terms. There is no harm in 
being silent on lambda-dev most days. As Mark Twain said, it is better 
to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to 
open it and remove all doubt.
