This is a statement about your intentions behind making your post. My statement is about your post itself. The thread's about documentation. Did your post concern documentation? Your intentions were to encourage more professional speech. Was your post itself an example of professional speech? Did more professional speech occur as a result of your post? How do you defend your post? "I wasn't even thinking of @jrfondren." ... you need more than good intentions to make a good post. I think the very first thing you need is a bare awareness that other people can also have good intentions even when they're not speaking like protagonist in a movie. The imaginary "anti-docs" faction in this thread are all well-intentioned. The rude people were not shills, paid by another language's OpenCollective fund, to come here and discourage a potential Nim contributor. And there's certainly nothing like this: > I have the impression people here feel superior for using or creating Nim and > look at others as not worth having them in the boat. I get it. I think Araq's slightly too mean on occasion, too. You can point that out when you observe it (this has happened), or you can use your disapproval as motivation to reply in a more helpful way to the person in question. You definitely shouldn't let these feelings simmer for a long time and then abruptly dump them on random people - very "superior" users of Nim, _every single poster in the discussion_ \- who were just talking about documentation.
