Although I disagree with TylerE about the issue that started this thread,
I agree that assuming that someone doesn't understand something is generally considered rude and would advise people against that. I would doubly advise them against it if they are from the Haskell community, because it is one way our community could get a poor reputation. Instead I hope we can be welcoming and tolerant, even of people who may not understand things, in the hope that they will come to understand them through interacting with us, or at the very least enjoy the experience.
- master-lincoln 3y ago> I agree that assuming that someone doesn't understand something is generally considered rude. I think assuming that someone doesn't understand something is only rude if there are no indicators for a misunderstanding. javcasas seemed to assume that TylerE doesn't understand Monads because TylerE stated that there is a Monad insanity in Haskell to replicate a print statement. I would also assume javcasas' comment wasn't made in good faith, but I still don't see that an insult was voiced. Not every rudeness can be interpreted as an insult I think
- tome 3y agoI think you're splitting hairs! Equivocation about what's rude and what's not is not a good look for the Haskell community.
