I do not believe the original thread was made with curiosity or charity in mind. Roland00 Send a noteboard - 26/05/2022 07:24:20 PM

Oh wait!

Don’t be a jerk.

Rational is discussing what can be done to improve things. Rational is not letting the perfect be the enemy of the good. Rational is not automatic ad hominem attacks on those who’s opinions are different.

But that’s just my opinion, isn’t it. Good thing you’ve appointed me judge!


Instead it feels like a person on a rant, who will not allow anyone to disagree with them charitably in the first place. New posts since then has not changed my appraisal on the situation. Is this thread in good faith, maybe but appearance wise it does not look like it.

Physician heal thyself!
