It's easy to post such comments in an email list, or anywhere else on the web. Would you say those kinds of things to the developer's faces? How likely would you be to have a constructive conversation if you did? Those are still people on the other end of that conversation. How would you respond if someone discounted *your* work in those terms? There is a label for the skill of interacting well with other people, emotional intelligence, and because it is now recognized, it is becoming a necessary skill for success in organizations. Recruiters look, and test, for it. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
