Try Alcoholics Anonymous. This is not a post-traumatic mutual support
group, this is a technical mailing list! If you can't handle a terse
and to the point reply, you should change the profession and try to
find nicer talking people in the humanities. The catch is that the
emails will start with a greeting, continue with a compliment, use
soft words ... and be empty, empty, empty.

compliment their hairstyle either.
