Good point. It’s way too easy for techies to underestimate the importance of “soft” skills. Do this at your own peril.

- watwut 5y agoThis is not about soft skills. It is about ideology and values.
- cpach 5y agoYou do have a point there. Another lesson from this debacle could be this: If you shit on people, they might revolt and cut all the ties to you and your affiliates :D
- simias 5y agoI disagree. I haven't taken the time to dig deep enough into this Freenode drama to really understand where everybody stands and as such I don't have a firm grasp of the various ideologies and values of the different sides. However it's painfully blatant to me that many of the participants seem to be making things worse by lacking a modicum of diplomacy and soft skills.
- watwut 5y agoYou lack soft skills when you are clueless what you are doing. If you are asshole fully knowing what you are doing, or if you take pleasure on doing harm or if you think being aggressive makes one right kind of person, the issue is ideology amd values. "I will offend you and if you object you are PC snowflake" is not lack of soft skills. It is ideology - one that specified who has right to object and who is lower on hierarchy.

- munificent 5y agoSoft skills are how ideology and values get transmitted.
