Yes, indeed. I humbly apologize for the form of raising my concerns.

It was an adrenaline rush due to my memories — of the CoC values
being enforced where the interlocutors misrailed a bit toward sarcasm,
yet discriminating behavior of screenshot posters apparently was not
noticed at all.

I officially petition for CoC's "Be thoughtful" point to be amended with
reminder about the form of communication: 

"Think about whether the form of your message will be accessible to
the all members of the community, including people with disabilities."

And I petition for the go-nuts list introduction [1] to be explicit about
screenshot attachments and about using playground for longer
snippets of code. For example with: 

=====

Never post screenshots unless the image provides a non-textual
effect of some erroneous code or if the image is otherwise essential
to the understanding of the problem stated.

Long error messages, like of panic with a stack trace, should be redirected
to the file first then this file should be posted as an attachment.
Logs are of no use if chopped (formatted as a text) by the mail client.

Be as specific as possible. The more relevant and specific to the
problem details you will provide to the community, the more precise
and helpful response you may expect.

Let community have a full context to your question: post the code
you are asking about. Mention the platform, OS and Go version.
Small snippets embedded into message as code blocks are ok,
longer ones should be given as a link to the code put into the
[playground](https://play.golang.org).
