Hi Cori, reply inline

On Thu, Mar 25, 2021 at 1:20 PM = cori <cori@autistici.org> w= rote:
Hello,

I only subscribed to this list recently because someone pointed out to
me that a discussion was going on which might interest me. I read some
of the messages in the discussions about Richard Stallman, and was not
inclined to participate.

Thanks for tha= t. We do welcome your participation, and it is not necessary to weigh in on= every conversation.=C2=A0

However, I do feel I have something to say here, and although I am
perfectly aware that most probably my email will not be let through, I
just don't want to keep silent this time.


> toxic person

>=C2=A0 =C2=A0* Be considerate
>=C2=A0 =C2=A0* Be respectful
>=C2=A0 =C2=A0* Be collaborative
>=C2=A0 =C2=A0* Be pragmatic
>=C2=A0 =C2=A0* Support others in the community
Point taken. I should have said "controversial person"= ; or not applied a label at all. Thanks for making that clear.=C2=A0

I don't think calling someone "toxic" is respectful or consid= erate. In
my view, it's not collaborative either, since how can there be
collaboration with the name calling, that may hurt readers' feelings? Expressing personal opinions about someone is not pragmatic, either, it
doesn't add anything constructive to whatever needs to be done. And it<= br> certainly is not supportive of others in the community.

In sum, I think this messages violates the very same rules of behavior
it claims to uphold.

Thank you.

Thank you for speaking up. I will do bett= er in the future.
