I appreciate the huge amount of frustration that the community has at the recent update. I have a lot of frustration at it too, for various reasons I won't go into at the moment.
This is a petition to please TRY to refrain from using angry, belligerent, or otherwise aggressive language to communicate when giving suggestions and discussing things.
For me, if I was being yelled at, I would be significantly less likely to respond to your complaints and requests with sincerity and thought. Perhaps, if I had, lets say, hundreds of forum posts to read, I would even skip responding to the ones that felt non-productive or less frustrating.
We have a new staff member reading our suggestions and responding to us. Personally, I don't envy their job. It would really hurt to be yelled at by hundreds of people on the behalf of a recent employer. I request that we, if all possible, try and treat them with respect, and communicate our pains and concerns in an informative and constructive way.
Everyone needs a place to vent, and I understand that. I would hope there would be a forum or topic, something in which people could let out their hate and aggression and frustration at the hours of work we perceive we may have wasted, at the apparent lack of communications before the update, whatever is frustrating us. But I would request that we try, especially in the suggestions and general discussion forum, to treat one another and the OOO staff with respect.
Thanks for your time for reading this, and I hope you think the idea has some merit.
You don't reconcile with children. I do appreciate the thread, though.
