I didn't personally point fingers in this case because me doing so in |
| 17 |
that discussion would not have been taken as a neutral party stance. |

Neutral parties are constantly encouraged to put a stop to anti-social |
| 22 |
behaviour by polite means (and escalate when necessary). We don't like |
| 23 |
to see bytes being wasted on unproductive discussions, but we don't |
| 24 |
want a witch-hunt either :) |
