It is just a matter of keeping some civility within this rather
unmoderated community. When things get rough it would be nice to count
on ubuntu.com people to remind us of the CoC terms (which by the way I
also accepted and abide) to put things back in a correct perspective,
to calm things down. Exactly what Jeff, Alan and Oli did in this
thread and you yourself expressed at "Being Nice for a Change". If one
cannot show respect for a fellow member, perhaps the illusion of
moderation by a "higher ranked member" could do (please note the " ").

Some time ago moderation was thoroughly discussed since conflicts and
name calling occurred on a daily basis. The mere possibility of
moderation, the sense of some kind of "supervision" (besides the
effective moderation of a couple of fellows) somehow changed the
climate, brought things to normal. Thus it seems that some people must
sense some kind of supervision to behave properly, as if they always
need a big stick around, to be scared of.

I know that you are here as persons and not company, but it is a
matter of respect, if everything else fails, perhaps an "hey dude,
show some respect at least for the Ubuntu guys" might work.

Funny, here in Sicily, we do not have to keep telling guys "show some
respect", it's kind of embedded. :-)
