I think at a moment like this it's important to step back a moment... Wikipedia has a good philosophy here called "Assume Good Faith": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Assume_good_faith Making Guile into a friendlier environment for newcomers is important. But if we are to have a friendly environment, the only way that can happen is if we believe that in general we have a culture of collaboration. That doesn't mean we don't hold people accountable if they are clearly demonstrating disrespectful or hostile behavior. But there's no way to have a collaborative environment if we don't try to give people the benefit of the doubt that they wish to work together to improve things.
