It's not just information processing.
Everywhere conversations take place, that place has a tone.

My feeling is, having robust, challenging conversations is important.
But does that require the present tone of f-l? From what I've seen on
other mailing lists -- Not at all. So why tolerate it, when it causes
people to disengage, and discourages them from engaging at all?
