If a substantial part of our community would share that attitude, we'd be in serious trouble, I am afraid. For creating a conflict, it is in some cases sufficient to have a single person who had have a bad day or didn't sleep enough, causing a temporary misjudgement. However, for keeping a conflict boiling, it is in all cases necessary to have several people who are committing continued misjudgements. And that's what the mentioned attitude achieves. And unfortunately, a code of conduct can not prevent a temporary misjudgement, but it may encourage the mentioned attitude, making conflicts a lot more violent. In other words, if you are able to see a legitimate request behind a wall of behaviour that seems inappropriate to you, then you should answer that request. It is fine if you are not able to, but then please don't answer at all. Best regards, Simon -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
