As an observer :)

Thanks Steven, for showcasing the benefits of clerking & consistency.

This list on avg is rewardingly respectful (aside from sporadic two-party flame wars).

Simple etiquette rules do inevitably help keep things on track (examples as far back as the first political gatherings!). Both of the proposals seem fine and simple.

Yes, please. It doesn't even matter how baseless; all personal attacks waste energy + spirit + time.

Warmly, SJ

Thank you for saying so.

Nope. One just chooses to Assume Good Faith and one chooses not to attack.

To be honest I don’t even remember what projects are being held up at this point, but I don’t think it is fair to attack Gerard for it. I support LFN. I would oppose Neo-Tengwar. I know why.

Fair enough. The line there is sometimes blurred, depending on country.
