Be kind. Don't be snarky.
Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith.
Please don't post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. A good critical comment teaches us something.
Please don't complain about tangential annoyances—e.g. article or website formats, name collisions, or back-button breakage. They're too common to be interesting.

- aziaziazi 2y agoThanks for sharing those other guidelines. Some could feel my comment escape them from it’s tone and it will be wonderful if you or someone else share a better way to say what I said. I’m doing my best to not hurt others, which sometimes is seen as coldness. Which I admit is not kind.
- blitzar 2y agoI can offer no better words for you, however can offer advice which I myself shall no heed. Vote accordingly and proceed onward. If collectively a negligible fraction also do the same then the results might just surprise. Ostracism is a powerful tool, while not always used for good, it does serve a purpose in society.
- aziaziazi 2y agoThanks, that is an idea I didn’t have and worth considering. Exclusion traumatized me in the past and that still haunts everyday. I didn’t thought it can be used for good.
