At the risk of falling into the poisoned well here, being technically part of "everyone else," but July, Data, SeaTurtle, and hS were all right to make the points they did to SadeG, IMO—and hS to July, too. It's kind of an obligation for members of the community to correct other members when they make mistakes. We don't all have a gift for making our Internet voice sound like candy and puppies when doing so, but that doesn't mean they were "bad" for speaking up. Also, this is probably why there's a line in the Constitution warning about our barks being worse than our bites, and also a bit about not assuming people are jumping down your throat (which SadeG seems to do, given all the apologies), yes?

In other words: let's please not call names and use broad categories that include people who aren't even directly involved yet, okay?

~Neshomeh, who hopes this post sounds like kittens, at least.
