EFU sending channel

[The Old Hack]

Oh I don't have an idealistic view of the channel. I just accept that any member of our community could be fallible, and that if you take a measured perspective and give respect and understanding to your fellow human beings... they will do you the same courtesy when something you say is toxic and inappropriate.

That is not my experience. Toxicity breeds toxicity. I am not exempting myself from this. Given a sufficiently annoying comment I am prone to lash out in response. What is more, it is possible to cross the line inadvertently, which further causes matters to escalate. And once they escalate, it is less often civil behavior but rather moderator action that calms matters again.

Also, I am not 'labeling' the channel. What is going on is a simple by-product of what you call freedom and I call the right to be a free fox in a free henhouse. Were we all reasonable, there would be no need for a ban function. Unhappily, we are merely human.

#EFU is not some 4chanesque den of trolls and rampant insulting, I think there is a tendency to make hyperbolic statements the nature of these things when they come into debate.  Regardless, drama is moderated and dealt with, as now with the closing of this badly derailed thread.

I think we have veered far enough off topic now.

For all its faults though, we have one of the better communities you'll ever find on the internet. We'll keep it that way.

If something gets out of bounds on #efu, please let me know.

#efusendings is nice for what it is meant to do: provide sendings in a channel void of any other communication.
