work best when both parties approach each other with a measure of respect...

Anger is often mistaken for disrespect. Emotions often override logic. When someone is mad, they often craft their words for impact, if not purely for violence.

I really don't think we need to dismiss peoples (very important) issues by punishing them for being upset.

...and a willingness to listen to the other side, with the overarching goal of making Disco a better place.

Not everyone believes that everyone else is on the side of "make disco great again." More so, the only thing we all have in common is that we all disagree on exactly what the real problems actually are - this thread provides a great panoply of that. During my brief time here, in my states of vitriol, the last thing I wanted was to capitulate with people who I saw as "the problem" - and the one thing I think I can confidently say, is that the majority of us all think this way.

I respect your words Garret - you have the right of it. But its idealism.

Something I said to Kai on Steam the other day. Disco is a meatgrinder, where Idealism goes in one end, and Cynicism comes out the other. No one can agree on just what exactly turns the handle, because everyone has their own idea on just what it is.

What would I suggest? I don't know. I'm out of suggestions, and I've made a few.
