hi all
i am gonna chime in a bit sooner with a different subject than the post about how i end up at times making too many colors
thus far, in over a year being out, we've been quite fortunate to have civil and respectful discussions in our forums and chat. i love that about our community. i know you ALL have worked to make it that way. it's not magic, it's work and in the breedable world, a miracle.
i have a request.
in this discussion, would you please keep the comments towards towards others from name calling or "correcting", (even those who may drive you nuts or upset you or "offend you")
my request is if someone does say something that is upsetting, why not write them privately, and sort it out that way. i'd love us to stay on track with keeping personal attacks or giving 'advice' about behavior out of this discussion. "difficult" conversations are things that can often alienate people, and split up communities and overall just cause issues that don't happen when 2 people work things out together.
especially when the "snide remarks" or "questionable words" are in an open chat or forum. it's human nature to defend oneself and often conversations stop being conversations and turn into "who's right", "who's wrong", "don't talk to ME that way" and stuff like that.
i think we are bigger than that
which is not to say we can't disagree, but again i ask to keep it respectful, and if you find it's hard, maybe take a step back and reply later. you are all to valuable to the community and to us for me not to say something.
i am NOT speaking to anyone in this thread specifically, just throwing out a request to those participating because i care and value each of you
thanks in advance for understanding and i will post about the other stuff tomorrow.
