I don't want to either dismiss your concern (which I share) or sound flippant, but I also wonder where the useful work will be done if we DO stop this. I wonder if there's actually no good solution - no way to be open to participation by everyone without having some way of filtering ideas that sometimes seems rude. We may be faced with a dilemma between seeming rude in a way that discourages many newcomers, versus so much time refuting Bad Ideas in detail that we can't accomplish much that's useful, and also discourages participation from both newcomers and experienced people. I've certainly seen signs of both. But I haven't yet reached the conclusion that there's no good solution, because I think there are still things to look at. Things that I'm wondering are: - What is "snarling" anyway, and are we all talking about the same thing? Is snarling any kind of unpleasant feedback, or what? - Is the problem really the language we use to discourage (presumably) Bad Ideas, or is it that we discourage them at all? Even if we improve our language for discouraging Bad Ideas (which IMO is worth trying), will we still be discouraging newcomers? Maybe not as much? Are there occurrences of snarling which aren't about discouraging (presumably) Bad Ideas? - Is it possible for us to get better at distinguishing between Bad Ideas and promising ideas? - Assuming that some of what people are "snarling" about is in part displaced frustration from something else about IETF, is there anything we can do about that? - What does it take to (re)create an IETF in which we're mostly happy about getting to do really useful work with really talented people?
