I have been away for awhile and have only now been able to start reading
Lugnet again. The recent flames in *.cad were surprising to me. However, I
agreed (for the most part) with their content.
I think the surprise came in that it is the first time anyone has been
seriously flamed since the inception of Lugnet (that I can remember). As a
rule, the community here has always given the benefit of the doubt (almost
to excess). Granted the events transpired and posts made have tried this
benefit to it's maximum. I understand the frustration, but I still feel the
reprimand has come too early (IMO); the public reprimand anyway. Language
has been used that can alienate an individual. My vision of Lugnet is a
community that will attempt to correct actions rather that making the
perpetrator unwelcome. I realize attempts to rectify JW's posting tone and
part submissions were made, but a clear and concise ultimatum was not made.
I feel that the blatant disregard for such a clear and concise ultimatum is
the only grounds for flame or reprimand.
I think JW now has a idea of how some of the Cad community feels towards his
posts and part submissions. I hope that he has not left our community and
will instead try to produce the type of product that is expected (he would
gain _much_ respect from me if he would stay in the face of such pointed
public flames). I fear that he may have decided to give up on part
authoring.
I am not saying that JW's actions were not frustrating, or rude in some
respects. I hope that he can _glean_ (from replies to his posts) the rules
of conduct and part authoring expected, because flames are seldom read as a
corrective suggestion by the target.
I don't think anything really major has transpired here, but it is
experience that should used the next time user behaviour needs to be
addressed.
