<div dir="ltr">Thanks Niklas!<div><br></div><div><div>These rules seem like a good starting point. Then again, so do these that a friend found at his toddler's play group: <a href="http://instagram.com/p/b0gj8oQ2wZ/">http://instagram.com/p/b0gj8oQ2wZ/</a></div>
<div><br></div></div><div style>It's embarrassing that we need to be reminded to act like adults because things have consequences, but it would seem that we do. This list isn't a youtube comment thread and you aren't anonymous so don't act like you are.</div>
<div style><br></div><div style>I've got a message to the list brewing about fixing the toxic behaviour that we're apparently all fine and dandy with. I probably won't get it written today; real life and my job are interfering, but this is on my mind and I do want to try and fix things (not on my own, I need all of you to help). It's not cool that our mailing list has a reputation of being incredibly spiky and aggressive.<br>
