It's of course reasonable for any review process to let you know that what you wrote appeared harsh and ask whether that's what you intended before taking any action. But if what you wrote *was* reasonably read as being harsh (even if your intention was not to communicate in that way), what would be the ideal end goal of mediation? Teaching you how to communicate more effectively seems like something that's outside the project's responsibility. -- Matthew Garrett | mj...@srcf.ucam.org
