Tldr: the people who claims to deliver a product providing order and civility (the "CoC") are usually the people who are conducting the abusive behaviour.
In such a CoC is very alarming signal with regard to who is in charge of a project's management.
- djur 11y agoESR has political motivations to oppose these CoCs, and the strongest argument that post makes is an attempt at guilt by association. I found it extremely unconvincing.
- josteink 11y agoHe has his political motivation, just like the CoCers have theirs. This probably applies to everyone, so it's not an argument which can be used to blanket reject a statement as such. His political position is that open source projects should be about the code, not gender, politics and endless subjects ripe for tactical abuse and causing drama. Personally I find that a perfectly reasonable and rational position. What fault do you find with it?
