All forms of learning involve some degree criticism, and sometimes we learn the most from the hardest task masters.
We all want a positive community, but we need to not fall into the trap of... "hacker forums where, out of some misguided sense of hyper-courtesy, participants are banned from posting any fault-finding with another's posts, and told “Don't say anything if you're unwilling to help the user.” The resulting departure of clueful participants to elsewhere causes them to descend into meaningless babble and become useless as technical forums. Exaggeratedly “friendly” (in that fashion) or useful: Pick one. " [http://www.catb.org/esr/faqs/smart-questions.html] Its a balance to weave, but lets not be too quick on the trigger to impede someone's natural flow of thoughts. If too much burden is imposed to craft "cheerful" criticism, we might lose its contribution and the chance to learn. I learnt something from Igor's post. cheers -ben On Sat, Apr 2, 2016 at 6:07 AM, Tudor Girba <tu...@tudorgirba.com> wrote: > Hi Igor, > > You are more than welcome to come back. > > Too much acidity is good neither for you nor for the people around you :). > Let’s be kind with one another and assume that we all care and we want to > make this world a better place, but that at the same time we are still only > humans. > > Cheers, > Doru > > > >> On Apr 1, 2016, at 10:51 PM, Igor Stasenko <siguc...@gmail.com> wrote: >> >> >> >> On 1 April 2016 at 09:53, Tudor Girba <tu...@tudorgirba.com> wrote: >> Hi, >> >> Nice to hear from you Igor.
