So chatting at the convention center bar with other attendees falls outside CoC scope?
Or are you saying that the clearly defined "no" exists exclusively for the kind of people that would be unsure, while the answer remains "yes" for people who are self-assured?
- geofft 8y agoThe clearly defined "no" should exist for both. If a code of conduct does not apply to everyone, it's simply another tool for those confident in their status and power to do what they want and the rest to watch helplessly—which is the entire problem being solved by codes of conduct in the first place. (A fear that a code of conduct will not be applied equitably without regard of persons is an entirely valid reason to object to one.)
