Re: [Haskell] Guidelines for respectful communication

There is a wide spectrum of bad faith behaviour. It may be simply not caring if one causes harm ("recklessness", if you like), through attempts to undermine the culture of a space or community, to attempts to cause people material harm. The wider Haskell community has witnessed all of these,
