please, you all, stop this, like Jos. Don't forget this is archived and don't serve openSUSE
thanks jdd
Well said jdd, - it's really getting a bit silly. One of the problems with lists is that the argument is set in print and archived, and isn't just a late-night moment of raised voices quickly forgotten. Still, any reader with an ounce of sense knows that a few individuals do not represent the entire project, just as a few silly or angry statements don't represent a person. If anyone wants to take the proposed anti-harassment policy document in a different direction, they are most welcome to write one that covers their points. If you want to write a long and detailed document, please go ahead. An ideal solution might be to have a brief statement as the main page with a clearly visible link to further information for those who want more details. I have no objection to such a document, I just don't want to spend my time writing something that I feel people probably won't read. This doesn't mean you shouldn't go ahead and do it, if you feel it is important to cover specifics. Go ahead and create a Wiki page or write a draft in another format. Other than that, there is already the bones of a pretty decent statement there on the page, so I think we can all move on with other productive work. My personal view is that it's openSUSE and we aren't idiots. This document is simply putting a few words around what we all already know. Really, how necessary is it to actually write down "treat other people with respect"? I'd like to think it's not necessary at all - this is for the benefit of maybe a very few selfish idiots, so they know we won't put up with their nonsense, --- and most importantly, for people who have experienced disrespect - or who fear it - to know that they will be supported. best, Helen IRC: helen_au helen.south@opensuse.org helensouth.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
