Nope you can be polite and insult someone. You can call me what ever you want. |
18 |
If you approach me and want me to consider what you are saying. Then approach |
19 |
matters. Is that not the gripe people have with me? My approach? |

This is the team lead of Gentoo's Community Relations. They should ALWAYS be |
22 |
polite, friendly, etc. Even if insulted, take it and say thank you! When you |
23 |
first contact someone personally, you set the tone. |
24 |
|
25 |
Even if the person is totally out of line. Comrel should always lead by |
26 |
example with their conduct. They should be friendly no matter what. |

Hey hows it going. You may not be aware but seems like an excessive amount of |
32 |
posts. This may be of concern to others. You may want to consider a time delay |
33 |
or pause. If there are some concerns I could address for you directly off |
34 |
list. I would like to see that your opinions are heard. If there is something |
35 |
that needs to be addressed I can look into it, if that will help. We would |
36 |
like your continued participation but there might be some better ways. |
37 |
|
38 |
I am here to help you and try to work with you. We do have things that can be |
39 |
used to throttle things but we really would rather avoid anything negative. |
40 |
|
41 |
Thank you for your input and participation. We want to foster and encourage |
42 |
open and constructive dialog. Please just consider this friendly request. |

Have a nice day! |
