Which part of the Guiding principles is so bad that it can't be accepted

Well, yes. We all hope this. We all know that this is not the case, however.

As I said, most of the things written go without saying (Be nice to others,
help others, spread the word, yaddayadda...)
Good.

It's the tone. It sounds all oh so important. I have token oaths before,
most of which deal with protecting freedom, courage, justice. Important
stuff. But this here is just a freaking operating system.
I see where you coming from. Let me congratulate, you have the most
exciting and wonderful part of the so called free software world still in
front of you. That is discovering that community really is more than some
"only" freaking software.

Put the guiding principles somewhere, no problem, but give me a chance
to ignore them <G>
Yes, no prob. There are always people who are stating openly what the values
are and others who do not.

regards,

Klaas
