A facetious example of the lunacy of the existing "Code of Conduct" brigade: - Project members must be treated with impunity if they wear footwear inside or no

A facetious example of the lunacy of the existing "Code of Conduct" brigade:
- Project members must be treated with impunity if they wear footwear inside or not but especially if the footwear is required to define the personality of the wearer.
- Project members must be treated with impunity if they smoke inside or not, especially if their preference is vape brand bubble gum heaven.
- Obey the law, obey the speed limit in your country.
- Obey the law, pay for your groceries.
- The contribution of code, ideas or documentation to the project is unnecessary.
A Sane "Code of Conduct", which would not be written down because it's implied by baseline civility and common sense:
- This project requires cordial behaviour from everyone involved.
- This project is to improve this particular software (and/or documentation, artwork etc)
- ryan-c 5y ago> A facetious example of the lunacy of the existing "Code of Conduct" brigade This seems like nothing more that a textbook strawman argument, except you haven't even bothered to make the argument. > A Sane "Code of Conduct", which would not be written down because it's implied by baseline civility and common sense You underestimate the conviction with which uncivil people will cling to "but what rule did I violate!?". CoCs signal to potential members of a project/community that abusive behavior won't be tolerated - they are necessary because some types of communities historically have tended to tolerate such behavior.
