I wholeheartedly agree. There's just no reason to snap at people.
Benevolence, Kindness, WikiLove should be our constant standard.

the reply, you certainly do have strong views
on this subject. Saying that I am "trying to drive away half of
the contributors to the 'pedia" IS inflammatory.
On this point I agree with Gary. A little while ago I suggested what I felt
was a small and reasonable change. Someone promptly bit my head off without
bothering to tell me what was wrong with my idea. I remain leery of
suggesting any future ideas even though I still don't understand what was so
blasphemous about the idea I suggested. Strange accusations like "Are you
trying to destroy the pedia?" is not the way to foster constructive
discussion about the possibilities of the software or the content.
