That is a gross misunderstanding of any of my statements, presuming its me that you are referencing. I by no means believe that behavior that goes against the CoC should be tolerated or allowed. What we seem to be discussing is what language beyond the CoC should be allowed in our "Social" channels.
The "social" channels are still part of the community, Simon.
I recently had cause to ban a member from the forums because he decided to take a run at the GNOME developers in the "Open Chat" section. When called out about it, declared the space as having some sort of "woke agenda" and threw a tantrum in public.
The forums Terms & Conditions predate the CoC, but the CoC codifies a lot of things that we specifically have included for years - including:
--- snip ---
Always Be Civil
Nothing sabotages a healthy conversation like rudeness:
Be civil. Don’t post anything that a reasonable person would consider offensive, abusive, or hate speech. * Keep it clean. Don’t post anything obscene or sexually explicit. * Respect each other. Don’t harass or grief anyone, impersonate people, or expose their private information. * Respect our forum. Don’t post spam or otherwise vandalize the forum.
Context is important here, and in the context I witnessed such a statement in (as a long running and obvious joke between friends), in my mind it didn't violate this section of the CoC. But I am happy to agree to disagree with people on this. -- Simon Lees (Simotek) http://simotek.net Emergency Update Team keybase.io/simotek SUSE Linux Adelaide Australia, UTC+10:30 GPG Fingerprint: 5B87 DB9D 88DC F606 E489 CEC5 0922 C246 02F0 014B
