Criticism and discussion of problems is perfectly fine. Throwing insults that don't add to that discussion is unnecessary and potentially harmful. > Daniel, on the other hand, criticized a *person* and moreover his post > had nothing whatsoever to do with Clojure. > No, Daniel criticized *behavior*. I'm sure you're a fine person. His post had to do with the tone of the discussion here and I believe that's entirely relevant. There are community expectations here for civil discussion and Daniel (and now me) are telling you it went a step too far. I know that you have been a long time contributor to the list and often provide valuable discussion, but sometimes you also cross the line (this is not the first time someone has complained). My suggestion would be that you just tone it down a notch and we all get back to talking Clojure. Alex -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
