It seems like you don't need a laundry list of things that are not OK to harass people about unless certain types of harassment are OK. For example "differences of opinion" is not on the list. Is it OK to harass someone who disagrees with me? I doubt that's the intention, and it's probably covered by the rest of the covenant, but if that's the case why do they need to list out all the things it's not OK to harass people about? It just seems needlessly complicated and ripe for causing further drama.
- bluecalm 11y agoI agree and I think it's politically motivated. What about: "avoid personal remarks and don't make any personal information public without permission". Who cares if it's religion, food preferences or gender. Harassing people is bad, giving away their personal information is bad - don't do it no matter what the specifics are.
- MichaelGG 11y agoYes, I noticed that intelligence isn't listed. So are we set to deride folks of lesser IQ, but not so little they classify as "disabled"? Maybe they're just aping what they see in other places. Eg freedom of religion should be a no-op, fully covered by other rights. Folks should be free to think and do as they please. Religion shouldn't be an excuse to get away with other things. Yet this wording seems copied around as if it was deep or something. Same thing here, with a few added classes?
