Oh, I think it will be useful for me to share a bit more about my self-censoring: after the "upskirt incident" I didn't care about flames, about people insulting me, trying to google bomb me or being listed on hate sites - from those I got traffic, page rand and a few AdSense dollars, what really did matter for me were the reactions of 3 people in the community I have respect for (no names given, hope they recognize themselves): - someone *friendly* adviced me in a *private* message to not publish again such type of content; - someone else, also in a private message, told me to not put at hearth all the flames; - someone from whom I didn't expected to, came to some degree publicly in my defense, albeit on some technicality. So my take is: don't get aggressive on this new guy, or anyone else, be friendly, we want to grow him in a full contributor, not alienate him. -- nicu :: http://nicubunu.ro :: http://nicubunu.blogspot.com/ _______________________________________________ advisory-board mailing list advisory-board@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/advisory-board
