What did I say about being excellent to each other?

[x-losfic.livejournal.com]

BY ALL MEANS talk amongst yourselves. Discussion and dialogue are great, are what we're here for! But not conducting discussion civilly, and not nurturing the sort of environment where people feel entirely comfortable speaking, curtails discussion, and I like it not.

Only disagree with others' opinions in a polite, reasonable manner. I don't care if you think what they have to say is silly. That's hardly your call to make or your duty to correct--no one has a monopoly on fandom!truth. I don't care if you didn't like their tone, or if you found the cut of their jib offensive. No provocation can excuse anyone from a responsibility to behave reasonably, speak sweetly, and otherwise not wank. This is the second time I've had to say something this week--where is the little com I carried, etc.?
