I DO NOT WANT my members reluctant to say anything at all because they're afraid somebody else is going to pick apart their message and tell them that their terminology is wrong, their wording imprecise, and their grammar flawed. GOT IT YOU GUYS!? Don't burden lay people with technical minutiae, nor critique others' attempts to make ideas clear in simple language because it may not be perfectly "precise." Precision to the exclusion of understanding is not a virtue here. Don't try to be flippant or cute... "Just joking" almost never works in the arid medium of plain text. Then we end up with people striking back when your attempt at a humorous jibe comes across as hostility. Think welcoming, friendly, considerate, gentle, supportive... Those are the kinds of words that describe the climate we should be trying to maintain here. Step back and think about what you're doing. As suggested above, cut people some slack.
