The rules lawyer in me sees these two points, which can be employed to immediately shut up anybody for fear of expulsion: * Harassment (either in public or private; if someone asks you to stop speaking to/at them, you must stop immediately) * If someone takes issue with something you said or did, resist the urge to be defensive. Just stop doing what it was they complained about and apologize. As soon as anybody talks to you, just tell them you "take issue with it" and they have to shut up or be shunned. Also, this is is clearly US-centric, with its puritan-christian view of sexuality as destructive: This section states the values to which Go enthusiasts (“Gophers”) should aspire, and the kinds of behaviors that are not acceptable in our community. ... * Romantic or sexual commentary, remarks, or questions.

Those are pretty clearly off topic from the subject of golang, don't you think?

  Actually, the Code of Conduct is intended to be all-encompassing: Where does it apply? The Code of Conduct applies generally. If you participate in or contribute to the Go ecosystem in any way, you should observe the Code of Conduct. So, golang is a way of life, according to this CoC.

    What I meant by off topic is that any "Romantic or sexual commentary, remarks, or questions" in a Golang communication forum are off topic. Having that go against the code of conduct does not necessarily suggest a puritan view of the world, but an understanding that those are rarely constructive to the conversation.

As far as the sexuality bit, it's basic professionalism. The entire Code of Conduct would be much better if it was just "Be professional". Yes, there'd be many more judgement calls involved, but that's a much better plan than foisting responsibility for making judgement calls onto these kinds of rules. >As soon as anybody talks to you, just tell them you "take issue with it" and they have to shut up or be shunned. The rules lawyer in me wants to prove a point by harassing people through deliberately taking issue with what a particular person says. It'd be coordinated, and best if it was ironically directed at the people who wanted to bring in the CoC.
