I show value for the community by being willing to dedicate my time and
energy when people are upset and hurt by what I've done.
I try to show that I value them by being willing to put in my time to
hear them and learn from them.
I do not try to force this.
But that's how I show that I value them as members of the community and
how I show that I value building a community that works together rather
than snipes at each other.
