I think many of them are great (such as not posting when agitated, thinking
about what you want to say, being respectful, etc.), and some are not so
great (like asking people to combine responses into a single message - I
think it's extremely messy).  Others are good as guidelines, but not as
rules.

I completely disagree that it's in any way disrespectful.  Internals is the
electronic equivalent of a discussion panel, it always has been.
Artificially limiting the number of messages a person can send has no place
here, as long as they're on topic.  Sure, if the person finds themselves
saying the exact same thing again and again - then it's probably not very
productive (but still, not disrespectful in any way);  But more often than
not, it's about different aspects of the topic, or replies to different
feedback coming from different people over the source of the day - and
there's absolutely nothing wrong with the same person replying to many of
them.

We should always take time to think about you response, take time when

I wholeheartedly agree.
