Let us spread mercy, not conflict. Let us drop the | Let us spread mercy, not conflict. Let us drop the boilerplate phrase "'''edited mercilessly'''". It pretends to be a cute warning to newcomers, but is actually in deadly earnest. It is no coincidence that [[:Category:Wikipedia|Wikipedia]] is awash in a tidal wave of antagonism, building on such a base. Let's not repeat this threat to contributors, nor encourage editors to treat other's work in such a fashion. Let us rather encourage ourselves to be '''sincere, careful, and considerate'''. *** Here is a suggestion for improved boilerplate: | ||
