How Should We Treat Each Other Here?
yan: We ideally treat each other as we have always been treating each other: with respect. Let's not forget that this is an internet forum, there won't always be orderly and enlightening discussion. I think bringing extra undue notice to a violation of conduct like people posting unrelated content or misinterpreting comments just kindles the off-topic discussion.Sure, I've said some silly things that I meant completely in a light-hearted way to only be down-voted into oblivion or offend someone else. You just take it as an experience and move on.I understand you have a metric ton of karma and are probably not getting used to being down-voted or garnering negative comments, but it happens. People are different and will reply uniquely to off-center comments.
