He's right. I'm just going to suggest that we try our best if offended, use
private email to solve the problem. I know many, myself included, do not want to
be attacked publicly and not have a apology or a clearing of my name made public,
but really we must fight the urge.
2 days from now or 1 week from now, no one is going to remember "John was upset
with Jane and said this..." The way to keep the forums clean and
attractive/usable to everyone is to keep these types of issues private. If you
feel you must attack someone, please do so via email. If you feel you have been
attacked and want to justify yourself, please do so via email. Just let attacking
threads die.
We've had many, many, many good weeks of conversation w/o attacking and then it
seems like this last week was pretty bad. I'm sure we can rise above it and
concentrate on helping euphoria programmers with problems and helping euphoria
grow (in the language and community).
Thanks!
