Please don't tell me what to do. I shall pretend otherwise unless those definitions are culture- and language-neutral.
Is the posted list of "Harassment includes" not defined in such a manner? If not, how could it be made better?
The posted list includes the word "inappropriate", that's where it gets de-railed, because that is 100% culture- and language-specific (aka in the ear of the beholder). Jokes that are entirely appropriate in Scandinavia will be inappropriate in Germany, cause a pub-fight in Britain and imprisonment in Turkey. (just a theoretical example, no offence to anyone intended).
The key issue in what Jos wrote (presumably borrowed from elsewhere?) is that it way too long, which leads to people thinking it is or should be precise. Rather than trying to define everything in minute detail, I think we should accept that it's not possible and only have a short and concise statement or policy, preferably referring to our guiding principles as jdd and Jos have already mentioned.
Why not simply state that the openSUSE Guiding Principles also apply to the openSUSE conference? (as Jos did in the intro).
I wanted to add a bit more info and examples and build upon something that is defined and discussed by many people already instead of re-inventing the wheel.
Which is completely reasonable, although in my opinion unnecessary.
In any case, as the FAQ stated clearly, your comments on 'but it is not precise' are completely irrelevant. What is an offence IS in the ear/eye of the beholder. And that is how it is, period. We (including you) have to accept that - it's how people work.
Hey, I was the one who pointed that out to begin with.
We can go into the deepest philosophy you want, but I'm a psychologist and for me - what people experience is real. Period. Nothing else is relevant.
To me, your tone is way inappropriate now. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (15.9°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
