A plea for civility

[Paul Gear]

Hi folks,

I've been reading most of the discussion over the last few days with a 
heavy heart.  What we're doing at the moment is proving that the LoCo 
council were right to deny us re-approval.

I /*beg*/ everyone who has posted over the last week to make a concerted 
effort:

    * to see the best in other people
    * NOT to be offended when others don't see the best in you
    * to make suggestions that are reasonable
    * NOT to be offended when others don't see your suggestions as
      reasonable
    * to do things which bring our community together
    * NOT to call attention to those actions which pull our community apart
    * to suggest good ideas and make positive steps to see them become
      reality
    * to applaud and congratulate others when they have good ideas
    * NOT to seek credit or desire applause for your own good ideas
    * to re-read the Ubuntu Code of Conduct
      (http://www.ubuntu.com/community/conduct) and think about how you
      can better live up to it
    * NOT to point out (or even /notice/) when others are not meeting
      the code of conduct
    * to be patient with slow, incremental progress
    * to disagree with others only where /absolutely necessary/, and do
      it off-list, and respectfully

Perhaps a way to summarise all of the above would be:

   1. Do the right thing
   2. Reward those who do the right thing with your attentiveness and
      support
   3. Ignore those who are doing the wrong thing

There won't be progress towards re-approval without /everyone/ putting 
their hurt feelings and egos in the back seat for the good of the community.

Regards,
Paul
