Disclaimer: This is a personal note, intentionally not calling out any names. With recent threads I started wondering if there is a chance that people could focus more on providing the Working Group and the editor with feedback that is targeted and constructive, ideally including data to support key points? I am especially concerned about the tone in certain discussions. It seems some—admittedly: less than two—people on the list disrespect members of the Working Group in such a way that the substance of their mails borders personal attacks. Recognizing some passion in these contributions too I think that focusing on things that matter could go a long way. Waiting a moment before replying, taking the time to check if messages could be misunderstood in any way, and disagreeing appropriately [1] may all be things that are useful. Thanks, Jens.
