It's wrong to say that it means that we are being non-excellent to each
other.  Creating a negative environment doesn't mean that there's
non-excellence going on.  I mean if all your criteria is that you create an
environment that pushes people away from communicating with each other,
there's a lot of things that a re necessary to the proper functioning of
our project that do that.  The basis of hte current policy is
non-excellence.  If you want to also hall monitor redundant and repetivie
posts or anything that creates a negative environment then please, write it
into the policy so that we all know what to expect.
