I'll reply around lunchtime privately. I won't have time before then. On 13 Apr 2014 08:46, "Fæ" faewik@gmail.com wrote:
No, I don't get it.
Can someone please highlight exactly how this statement is unacceptably rude? "If you are going to repost emails to this list, please ensure you include the relevant content."

Hello all,
I feel that as a list moderator I should step in and say that, for a
second
there, the tone of this list dropped needlessly. Fae, your email came
across
as rude: whether you meant it or not, that's how it came across.
The main reason that this mailing list isn't much used by the general editing population is in my experience because the tone is hostile. That
has
to change if this list is to stay relevant and at the heart of the
chapter
and the UK movement. I accept that sometimes in real life hostility
might be
necessary in order to accomplish a goal, but I don't think that such a
rule
holds true on an internet mailing list.
A reminder to us all (myself included) to put an extra bit of effort into being polite on the Internet. I don't want to stifle debate, and there's
no
problem with bad language if it's used to emphasise a point, but we can
at
least keep a friendly face on most emails.
