I have noticed that there were a few threads in the past days where things became rather unpleasant. It is important to state that disagreement, even strong in nature, is not what concerns me here, but the fact that some of it got personal.
From my POV, the cause was quite similar in every instance: Someone mistook a reply as a personal attack or as some kind of schooling they felt they didn’t need and reacted in a way that then spurned a heated exchange.
Even though stuff like that is probably unavoidable on a forum of a certain size and the incidents were handled well by the moderators, I urge everyone here to leave their ego at the door and to reply to the nicest interpretation of what was said before you, misunderstandings happen. You might not need the lesson conveyed in the reply, but someone else might. Let’s keep this community as pleasant and welcoming as it is!
