the last long-winded discussion brought to mind
memories of previous email storms, notably those that
included a scolding tone. in the aftermath of some of
these email storms, at least, i know we've subsequently
lost members who were put off by the scourging they
perceived they were getting. note that some members who
were not targets have disappeared, seemingly out of
disgust. i have to say i don't like being associated
with a disapproving group.
expressing disapproval of others should be done <---
very carefully, at least if we want to retain members.
seems to me that if the urge to disapprove of
someone else comes up, think of it as a need to go
to a kind of virtual toilet and relieve yourself in
private. after venting, maybe clean up and then go
to the target and ASK QUESTIONS (rather than make
accusations).
i think it's okay to hate others, it's kind of
fun, but threatens group survival if expressed
publicly.
i'm asking, please don' do that no more, please.
