Ooh, insults. Great argument!
But maybe I need to be more specific: I had never seen this in the communities I've taken part in - there's obviously some selection bias there though.
But my point is a CoC isn't required for civil behaviour. It won't guarantee harmonious behaviour either (see the infamous opal thread), and makes censoring easier.
- justin66 10y agoThanks for clarifying. I agree that a Code of Conduct is neither necessary nor sufficient to ensure civil behavior in a group, although I think in some cases it might be a useful tool. Civility is an ideal that will not always exist, in any group. I do think we ought to do what we can to maintain civility. I can understand why you'd adopt the position you have if you view continued harassing behavior and hostile work environments as abstractions that do not take place in the world.
