It is extra-easy to misinterpret, and impossible to gauge the reaction of other parties until they actively respond. And, often, discussions here don't have the supporting framework of trust built in a real-life friendship — the other person is just words on the screen. So, it's valuable to work extra hard at a collaborative communication style, even if it doesn't come naturally. And, really, this is a learned behavior in any culture — it's not something humans are necessarily good at automatically. But we _can_ be, and I want Fedora to be a shining example of it
