So can I take it as being OK to call someone a jerk?

You shouldn't have insulted her (and the rest of the committee). She shouldn't have called you a jerk. You are equally to blame. I don't know what sort of action you want anyone to take here; I don't believe any official outside action is called for. All involved parties should cool off, apologize for the intemperate words, and deal with the issues that underlie your barbs rather than the namecalling. -Kat [[User:Mindspillage]] -- "There was a point to this story, but it has temporarily escaped the chronicler's mind." --Douglas Adams _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list WikiEN-l(a)Wikipedia.org http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l

Kat Walsh a écrit: All involved parties should deal with the namecalling. Nod. Exactly. It is unfortunately real that some of us (me included sometimes) resort to using bad words to call others when the pressure is too high. But that happens. Best is to give it a few hours, feel the regret build up, apology and try to put the whole thing aside. Not always easy. But the best. I would even go as far as saying that after a while... you get to realise some people just blow up this way from time to time. Then, you somehow get used to it. But generally, abusive use of insults get oneself bad reputation. ant _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list WikiEN-l(a)Wikipedia.org http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
