> won't touch projects with a CoC, and when a project that I'm actively contributing to introduces a CoC, I stop contributing. Here's mine: http://freeradius.org/list/ http://freeradius.org/list/ --- The only permitted topic on the list is technical discussion related to FreeRADIUS. Off topic messages will result in a warning. Continued misbehavior will result in the person being unsubscribed from the list, and permanently banned. --- I sympathize with your position. When people started asking me for a code of conduct, I wrote the above. The trigger for me to write the above was a situation where someone complained on the list about "bad behavior", and asked for civility. When it was pointed out that the "bad behavior" was a technical answer to a technical question, they responded with cursing and insults. Cue... ban. Some people read simple technical answers go here and read this file as an emotional response of "go F yourself". They instead want answers to be "inclusive" to the point of smarmy pandering. My $0.02 is that if you want technical answers to a technical problem, you're welcome on a software forum. Otherwise, if you want online friends, play a MMO game, or call a pay-per-minute service.
