Re: [opensuse-project] anti-harassment policy at oSC 2011

There's some pretty extreme situations being raised here, which I
think could derail the intention somewhat. Issues like actual physical
assault and rape are serious and require law enforcement. These are
not to be taken lightly.

My understanding of this document is that it is to articulate that we,
as a community, value and respect people of all stripes - genders,
orientations, races, abilities, shapes and sizes - and will not
tolerate vilification, abuse or harassment in any form. We appreciate
that cultural differences may cause misunderstanding so are trying to
clarify these, and will attempt to smooth misunderstandings as they
arise, but expect people to not play dumb, and make an effort. I think
it's important that we state this in writing. It's not going to be a
perfect document and it's a brief position statement, not a 500-page
manual of How Not To Be A Loser.

Regrettably, the people who need most to read and understand it will do neither.

The story goes that Moses received 2 stone tablets on Mount Sinai which contained 10 very simple and easy to understand instructions.

Everyday each one of them is broken by thousands of people.
