[wp-forums] Reminder about our behavior

[Drew]

Thank you for this Mika.

It feels like lately there's been a certain air of superiority about what
it is we should be doing here.

"This person is ..." dumb, or stupid, or a jerk, or needs to be "put in his
place". What place is that exactly?

We're here in the forums and elsewhere to help people. We're here on this
list to discuss helping people. And yes, sometimes that means bozoing
people or deleting spam or the like. Mika hit it on the head: We can all be
a little more mindful that nothing we say here is secret, in fact, it's
free for the web to read and we should treat it as such.
