Re: [Openme-developers] Building vs Production

Take it somewhere else please :)

A Word (or Two) About Flaming
Simply put: resist the urge to start or participate in a flame war. Nobody
likes being attacked or embarrassed in public and will therefore respond in
kind. When you include personal attacks in your posts, the intelligent
exchange of viewpoints gets lost in an emotional exchange of hostility.
Flame wars accomplish nothing but dividing the community into opposing
sides. The "discussion" follows a fairly predictable path and often results
in the participants appearing very childish: "You're lying"/"No, you're
lying", "If you bothered to read my post, that is not what I said", etc.

Here are some suggestions to avoid a flame war:

1) Use emoticons to help the reader better understand your intended meaning.
This is especially important when using humour, sarcasm, or other subtle
word play. An "obvious" bit of humour to the writer may not be so obvious to
the reader. Keep in mind that to many people here at the Guild, English is a
second language.

2) In a disagreement, focus on the issue, not the individual. For example,
"The problem I see with that idea is..." is much better for constructive
dialog than is "Are you really stupid enough not to see the problem with
your moronic idea?"

3) If you need to vent your anger, do so in an email to a friend or post it
in a private clan forum, but remain civil in your posts at the Guild. Think
of it as a high tech way of screaming into a pillow.

4) If you absolutely must confront an individual, do so via email, chat,
another forum, or some other form of communication. First, people are more
civil when they are not concerned about saving face in public or strutting
for an audience. Second, the vast majority of the Guild members don't care
to be involved in or even read flame exchanges.
