Asking for Calm
folks, emotions are very high at the moment. It would really help if
you could let the discussion die down. If there are issues that you
need to address, please reach out to da-manager, the listmaster, DPL,
the community team, or anyone else who you think will hear you and give
you the help you're looking for.
To make matters more challenging, some issues have come up in the last
couple weeks that we're not entirely sure how to handle.
We want to hear people even when they are very upset. Similarly, we don't want
people to be provoked into being so upset that they cannot be heard.
And yet there are limits to that.
Da-manager, listmaster, the community team and DPL have started a
discussion to try and figure out how to balance these issues.
I'm sure we'll have some advice and discussion points for the broader
community later.
But right now, we're in the early stages of that discussion.
I understand it would be beneficial if we had clear advice now.
We don't.
I'm hoping that we can all cooperate to take a step back, and get the
space we'll need to approach these issues in a sustainable manner and
build the community we want to live in.
Again, if you're hurting now and something needs attention, reach out,
but preferably not on the list.
Thanks,
Sam Hartman
