1) Let's stop referring to specific people, mmkay? I made that mistake, had it pointed out that it was a mistake, and want to make good on not repeating that mistake. 2) The sort of interaction you outline is *not at all* what *I'm* talking about when I feel that someone is being rude. But again, this is the sort of thing I want to understand: what *do* people mean? I consider rudeness to encompass behaviors such as yelling, disparaging remarks, and using a condescending tone. Pretty simple, IMHO. Refusing to help someone who doesn't understand the first thing about Python is *not* being rude; it's merely recognizing that the other person is in the wrong place, and that your time could be better spent helping others. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
