Clearly by stating what you just said you have actually supported my case. You have obviously very little personal experience being part of an affected community that experiences harassment (and

Please stop making invalid assumptions and being arrogant and offensive. Your tone is entirely inappropriate.
Please everybody. The tone here generally gets far away from what anybody reading the archive would possibly be calling 'inviting' and 'open'.
That is unfortunately true, but this appears to be a somewhat sensitive topic with diametrically opposite opinions.
Let's look at the topic pragmatic and from 'far away': - Are we as the openSUSE community all pulling in the same direction? If yes: great! Let's keep on doing so! If no: what are the differences? Are there possibilities we as ONE community can overcome?
That's a good suggestion, I wish Jos had started there too. Instead he began by wrongly assuming we needed an anti-harassment policy.
- Do we agree that nobody in our community should feel discriminated or harassed?
Certainly. Nonetheless, before we start dishing out policies, we have to ask if they are really necessary, and if so, if we can come up with an acceptable/practical formulation. I personally see no need for an anti-harassment policy, and I think it's a very slippery slope, but I have accepted that many disagree with that. The most suitable formulation I have seen is Vincent Untz' three-line version from yesterday.
If we do agree on the above: why is it so difficult to put this down in a sentence?
I'm sure we agree to that, I simply cannot imagine that we don't. It's difficult because some people think it needs to be spelled out in minute detail, whereas other believe it is better to outline the intent. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (19.0°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
