Karl, I share your point of view I think it all boils down to using to much coarse language and lack of politeness. This is why this discussion can trigger bad emotions and alienate (not all but) some people instead of getting questions answered in a more civilized manner. This may sound pathetic but a bit more of Please, Thank You and an occasional Sorry would make a big positive difference.

This whole thread business [pun intended] is about the deadest horse ever to have lived... I will say this, out of all the mailing lists I am on... This is the only one that gets these huge conversations where the majority of the content is pointless to actually improving the community... (and generally to the conversation itself) -- On other lists... it's usually a sign that you should pay attention to that topic... no so much here (in most cases). It is very off putting and if it weren't for that fact that there are a few very useful gems that come across the mailing list, I would have left along time ago, but what little I get to work with Node in my free time is important to me, and so I always end up tolerating it. I would say that qualifies as alienating people, and I know I am not the only one... there are countless others that chime in all the time, trying to right the path of the topics... It is a losing battle... but if you care at all about staying apprised of community ongoings... you suffer silently [for the most part] through it. -Karl Tiedt
