Proposal
Be nice!
Don’t pick on people. In my opinion, people watching new changes should not be looking for an excuse to criticize. They should just be trying to stop attacks. If watching new changes makes them trigger happy they should stop watching new changes until they can control themselves. If they don’t like the tutorial emboldening people to edit, maybe they should address that rather than picking on people.
