Grants:IdeaLab/Encourage contributors to use a "one offer only policy"
Project idea edit
What is the problem you're trying to solve? edit
How can one who is appalled by language used in some WP comments still contribute and maintain a sense of "I have added value," but on the other hand keep emotionally healthy in a hostile-language area?
What is your solution? edit
Make it explicitly valued and encouraged that one can add one's knowledge (do an edit - "be courageous"), but then leave the area and let others - presumably more "discussion-stable" ("thick-skinned") - do the job of defending the correctness of the contribution.
Rationale: It is often the case that not one and the same person can contribute knowledge as well as defend the formulation of that knowledge in the face of unfounded and/or harassing attacks. So, make it an expliclty legitimate behaviour to do only one of these jobs, but not the other.
