Intended as a starting point. Let me know if it sucks... - reboot

It was questioned "Why do people self-link" - the answer, they are new, read the docs but there was a lot of doc to absorb and remember and did not realize they were not supposed to self link when they wrote it..

but if on page "foo" you write a link to "foo", it's obvious that clicking it only reloads the page the user is currently reading .... issn't it?

I had seen other pages that way, and assumed the behavior. I presumed it had *something* to do with search, quoting or consistancy (in Mozilla 1.x if you highlight text and say "view selected source" you can paste it into your blog for instance). Anyhow I will refain from doing this in the future. Thank you for correcting it. One day I will note it wherever it seems approriate, that day is not today. Reboot

Our article currently lists as the only human reaction: "Emotional". While many reactions of humans are indeed emotional, this by no means encompasses the whole range. Here's a great consideration (from this discussion - I used to react emotionally to the term "overreaction"):

A reaction is a response to some action or event, like swerving to avoid a pothole. An overreaction is a reaction that is excessive, that goes beyond what is ideal, like swerving so hard you loose control of the car and drive over a cliff. The idea of overreaction is conveyed in common expressions like "making a mountain out of a mole hill" and "blowing things out of proportion". There is no line separating an appropriate response from an excessive or inadequate one. Aristotle would say the appropriate response is the golden mean between "underreaction" and overreaction, the farther you move from this ideal, the more you are under or over reacting.

It's of course a POV, but a very helpful one. This view helps deescalate conflicts by taking the focus away from emotions. Maybe someone has an idea how to include this meaning in an WP:NPOV way in this article? — Sebastian (talk) 23:11, 1 December 2006 (UTC)Reply
