The problem is multiple vague parts which taken together can be a bad thing.
>Examples of unacceptable behavior by participants include:
>Other conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate in a professional setting
Following which country professional setting? The US?
>Maintainers have the right and responsibility to [...] ban temporarily or permanently any contributor for other behaviors that they deem inappropriate, threatening, offensive, or harmful.
Ok, not too abusable.
>This Code of Conduct applies both within project spaces and in public spaces when an individual is representing the project or its community.
Ok.
>Representation of a project may be further defined and clarified by project maintainers.
And that's from where abuse will be coming. Using your blog not associated with Linux but with your name to tell things some "maintainers" don't like? Go work on another project. Because for this case your name is enough to check the "representation of a project" clause.
- pjc50 8y agoIt's interesting to see the competing claims: - the kernel community is comprised entirely of people who will never be abusive, so it doesn't need a code of conduct - the project is surrounded by people who are so dangerous that they will abuse any kind of process, even a code of conduct

They aren’t abusing the code of conduct when they use it to attack people, that’s what itcwas designed for. It was designed by a person with an axe to grind who makes no secret of their agenda.

- CryptoRetired 8y agoPlease read this comment section where I have explained it multiple times.
- rini17 8y agoAnti-abuse system allows abusers to live in its cracks. The article explains that at length, with examples of offensive (though superficially compliant) language used by US managers.
- rbanffy 8y agoIf the CoC has cracks large enough to sustain an abuser ecosystem, those cracks will be identified and paved over.
