Good morning 🌞 All,

Reaching out for tenured members knowledge and feedback as well as personal and general responses from anyone who wishes to weigh in.

My questions are :

What constitutes a personal attack on the forums?

What culture do you feel is promoted on this cc and how so?

If you bring to light in appropriate conduct on this site within a forum or otherwise, is it addressed ?

    "What constitutes a personal attack on the forums?"

    "An abusive remark on or relating to somebody's person instead of providing evidence when examining another person's claims or comments."
    https://www.yourdictionary.com/personal-attack

    For instance, saying something like:

    "You are an ugly potato, yo momma is a dirt ridden yam and don't even get me started on yo father. 😩 His blood is so yucky not even mosquitoes want to be around him."

    "What culture do you feel is promoted on this cc and how so?"

    A healthy inviting culture by doing our best to cultivate it and people who are unkind are dealt with asap.

    "If you bring to light in appropriate conduct on this site within a forum or otherwise, is it addressed ?"

    It's my experience that it has been.

    PS. I can't with certainty say what constitutes it from the perspective of the site managers. Though I think the dictionary definition of a personal attack is a safe bet.

    I don't know what exactly is a personal attack, as that can take many forms, but I do know how to avoid getting into one - I ask myself the question every time I post - "is what I am about to post factual and based on what is indeed true? Or is it my belief or projection about the situation?"

    I would agree with @Lovelight. Bad actors, bad posts and bad intentions have not lasted long on CC. However, misunderstandings and misinterpretations between people are not a part of that unless it devolves into insults and name calling. In short, if it goes from an adult disagreement to meet me at the swing set after school for a sound thrashing.

    In practice, most personal attacks don't fall close to the boundary.

    Inappropriate conduct is dealt with, usually quite quickly and effectively.

    The culture is definitely inclusive, everybody really is welcome here except trolls and arseholes.
