Hey,
I am a newbie to Wikimedia-India. I have been working with the Wikisource
community since my GSoC
intern started. First of all, I think this project is a really nice
opportunity to increase our visibility.
I also request Ansuman to be a bit more civil. Being nice and respectful
doesn't hurt. Such kind of behavior
is not acceptable in a mailing list where everyone is volunteering just out
of interest. Also, in the 10 months
that I've been with Wikimedia, I am yet to see such rudeness on the mailing
list.
Cheers,
Aarti

Dear Anshuman,
Hey Abhijeet
I don't know you. But one thing I would like
to share that people WILL
teach about civility if you will behave in uncivil manner. I do find your
words and tone uncivil.
You don't know me, but i just got to know a lot about you!
What an analogy!
When people argue, someone else always tries to finish it, and be a hero.
And I do find your this particular message unnecessary and uncivil.
Whatever you want to say, you can always say it
in better ways and
believe
me, it always increases chances of getting your
point accepted.
It doesn't necessarily be that way. And believe me my encounter with
A2K is other way around. And I'm not here to get my points accepted.
Actually there is nothing to be accepted, just some facts. I guess i'm
trying to show you, how A2K doesn't consider something when it should.
I'm sorry, you feel bad about it. Please if you don't like it, you
could stay out of it. All my messages are meant for A2K, and i think
it'd best if we let A2K handle it.
But using uncivil way of communication is such a
bad thing that after a
limit people will not listen to you at all.
In short, kindly behave!
And people here have their own beliefs and ethics, and they know what
they're doing. They don't need your advice at all.
In short, you just wasted yours and my time. Anyway thanks for your
comment.
Cheers,
Ansuman

but that
should be done without burning bridges.
