The last couple of weeks here have been hectic. Lots of position statements, lots of emotion and several less than helpful emails. First and foremost: Remember that personal attacks are not OK. Follow the guidelines for this and other lists. In particular: Taking private communications and moving them onto public lists without consent is unacceptable at any time. In general: Dragging up old points made in public to pursue people in private is also not appropriate. IF people are prepared to treat each other with mutual respect and consideration for differences in viewpoint THEN most of the issues within Debian resolve into pure technical problems or simple communication misunderstandings at best. If people choose to bully, threaten or push at others then we all lose. Each of us loses time and mental effort in coping with a charged situation and attempting to follow long, emotionally loaded threads Some people may choose to retreat into silence; others may choose to leave Debian behind and go and do something less draining instead. Behaving badly in Debian drags people down and achieves nothing useful: Don't Do It. For the Community Team Andrew Cater (amacater@debian.org)
