Jul 19, 2018 at 15:38 comment added GalacticCowboy "That first sentence is great." I respectfully disagree. The first clause of the sentence gives a massive out: if I'm not here to help others, apparently I don't need to be patient and welcoming.
Jul 12, 2018 at 15:00 comment added Makoto @LangeHaare: So... 1) No competitor ever nurtures another competitor. 2) My opinion is that warming up the Antarctic is harder than making sure that everyone who visits the Antarctic has really good winter weather, instead. That is to say, I feel like the CoC is trying to warm up the Antarctic instead of giving everyone a reasonable checklist of what they should have before they come over.
Jul 10, 2018 at 11:14 comment added LangeHaare @makato to me that suggests 1) SO needs better, more diverse competition so we should nurture and encourage alternatives like askquestions.tech , 2) SO is like Antarctica only if we users make it so, isn't the goal of the code of conduct to warm it up a bit?
Jul 9, 2018 at 19:15 comment added Makoto @LangeHaare: I do feel like the analogy is apt. Unlike visiting an associate's house party and not having a good experience of it, suffering in Antarctica, much like being spurned at Stack Overflow, has lasting consequences that will impact one's formative career (or so we're told from Twitter/Hackernews/%SOCIAL_MEDIA_LINK%). Being told off at one person's party has consequences for that person and/or their circle of friends, which can be relatively easily addressed with another circle of friends if necessary.

Jul 5, 2018 at 16:13 comment added LangeHaare It's less like going to Antarctica and more like going to a party at the house of someone you don't know very well. You do your best based on how you were meant to behave at other parties (if you've been to any before). If the host tells you off coldly for sitting on the sofa, maybe you won't come back to the next party and they won't get to see the amazing party trick where you open a bottle with your eyelashes.

Jul 3, 2018 at 22:16 comment added Makoto Hi, "Old Guard" member here. I'm reading a list of changes to my rations and am discovering that I've been reassigned to Antarctica. I get why they want to reassign me to Antarctica, since we have newbies coming over and discovering that it's cold and dark half of the year, and believing that the advice of others is unwelcoming on how to survive or what they need to do. I'm not sure how comfortable I am with having to hand-hold these travelers, since they're coming to Antarctica of their own free will, so I thought it fair to assume they had some knowledge. Send help.
Jul 3, 2018 at 21:09 comment added Draco18s no longer trusts SE how do I know if someone is new? I remember once having to comment on a 8k+ rep user that their answer was of poor quality (it was 3 lines, barely more than "here's teh codez"). They replied that they didn't know what I meant.
