Re: [RFC] [Draft] Adopt Code of Conduct

Hi! > It is not what I am referring to but harassment, insults, attacks or > similar events. I do not think we need to discuss endlessly that we Proposed CoC says "insulting/derogatory comments" and "[o]ther unethical or unprofessional conduct". And that can be (and in some cases has been) treated very broadly - from "how can an ethical person support that fraud of a politician X" to "your statement in support of policy Y is offensive to group Z and therefore is insulting and derogatory". I want to avoid that as much as possible upfront. > It is not about taking actions now blindly but to create a structure > that allows to create action when necessary, after investigations, > discussions and decisions, with common sense in mind during all these > processes. Is it not obvious? I feel like you keep come back to What I am trying to say is that supporting doing something with argument "we don't know if this is needed or if it would help, but since we can't conclusively prove it would not we must do it" - is a very bad argument. > extreme cases where common sense should apply.

We already have power to ban someone, that doesn't need to be created. The question is how this power is to be applied. -- Stas Malyshev smalyshev@gmail.com
