As a mild disagreement, I would worry that over-enforcement of this principle would squelch out all humor. While humor may not quite be in the spirit of colleagues, or politics, it is certainly within the spirit of friendship. I am not sure about the right line to draw, but I do think that a truly friendly community is one that doesn't take itself too seriously.
- dang 12y agoIsn't humor obviously within the spirit of colleagues? It certainly has been, any place where I've had colleagues. There's a kind of caricaturing wit that could be called uncharitable, but only if it's meant to distort, in which case the humor is a means to something else and it's the something else that's the problem.
