Can someone who is not me go there and politely and nonspecifically remind
everyone that AGF and NPA are important, that the community expects editors
to discuss disagreements in a polite and constructive manner, and not resort
to insults or abuse?

My cold and grumpyness reading the stuff there makes me think that I
shouldn't try and leave such a message at the moment, but someone should..

Thanks.
