@yoonix It sounds like that answer was something you wanted to say... liberating? Perhaps it is worth discussing if not just so that people like you can say what you have to say?

@HopelessN00b Hahaha. So what do we do? Nothing... forget I brought it up? Leave that Be Nice page alone? Is it nice to say "you don't know what the fuck you're doing" to someone at work? Really, I don't care... I'm asking... I'd love a consensus. I'd love that page to say that you can expect to be told off under certain circumstances with foul language when the situation warrants. Can we do that?

@yagmoth555 Yes, I understand direct != rude

@yagmoth555 I've been there. I've had to argue with my boss over things, even a CTO on occasion. They don't always take it well (a good boss will listen/debate), but it's necessary (for me) as a professional to be honest and do what's right. I don't need to be rude to do that though.

@HBruijn Yes almost always comments. Those were just examples... there's way more out there... I just thought of a few off the top of my head.

I was really using polite and nice interchangeably. And I'm not suggesting new rules, I'm referring to the existing rules. Are you saying you disagree with the existing rules or this is how you interpret them? Would you actually talk to someone like that at work?

@yagmoth555 I don't understand. Do you mean people reply back to you impolitely?

FYI, there is no right or wrong. This is an open question to all users. I want to know what people think. If everyone is happy to ignore the rules that SF has defined, then so be it. I'm just asking. :)

@yagmoth555 I'm not talking about being direct... nothing wrong with that.

I'm interpreting this as a no. Right? What about the "Be Nice" page? Should we change it? Calling things turds and telling people to go read poetry? LARTing people?
