This is really sad. And the kind of people who value that often make |

good developers if they also have good technical skills. |

I believe one can't solve this problem by using rules. |

I think the initiative is on the offended person's side. If a developer |
16 |
is being aggressive and needlessly argumentative towards other people, |
17 |
that's clearly a misconduct. Similarly for aggressive users. |

We need leadership. I remember very well when the leader of one of the |
27 |
Gentoo projects I participate in reminded me to always say "thanks" to |
28 |
people who are helping us on Bugzilla. A small thing, but wasn't he right? |

I believe it's the project leaders and the Council who ultimately set |
31 |
the tone. |
