Yelling, certainly, doesn't help. Shaming, in an
atmosphere where
there
is strong general support for certain principles that are
*egregiously*
violated, *can* help and *has* helped upon occasion.
It is *precisely* in a medium of collaboration where shaming can
help!
I'm not going to stop doing it, myself, and I continue to advocate
its
tasteful, usually tongue-in-cheek, winking, use. Treating others
with
respect is important as well; but I wouldn't attempt to shame
someone that
I didn't have at least enough respect to think that they'd react
appropriately.
When you shame someone, you demonstrate a lack of respect. Jokingly
shaming someone is still shaming someone.
I don't like it.
