They were simple questions. I asked them because I care, not because I |
10 |
am planning to defend a status quo. |

Maybe instead you have come to expect a certain "Gentoo tone" to |
15 |
accompany the silent letters of an e-mail? I certainly didn't put that |
16 |
tone in there. |

What I think but didn't initially say: |
19 |
|
20 |
1) that there are probably some good examples of the bad tone that sping |
21 |
referred to, perhaps in the devrel/userrel domain and therefore not |
22 |
initially public, and that unless those projects fail (to uphold the |
23 |
CoC), we should probably not be talking about it on a public mailing |
24 |
list. |
25 |
|
26 |
2) that "tone" is unavoidably a subjective matter, which is precisely |
27 |
the reason that some in our community choose consciously to be concise, |
28 |
informative and dispassionate, while you might infer that this results |
29 |
in curt, graceless and unaffectionate communication, or "bad tone" in |
30 |
short. |
