I consider the 'Contributor Covenant Code of Conduct' to be far more politically charged than the 'rule of Benedict' as used by SQLite. The CCCoC opens the door wide open to identity politics where the 'rule of Benedict' with 'special emphasis to 'rule 71 in particular and also rules 2, 8, 9, 18, 19, 30, 66, and in the spirit of all the rest', i.e. 71: Make peace with your adversary before the sun sets 2: Then, love your neighbor as yourself 8: Honor all people 9: Do not do to another what you would not have done to yourself 18: Be a help in times of trouble 19: Console the sorrowing 30: Do no wrong to anyone, and bear patiently wrongs done to yourself 66: Do not love quarreling ...is clear in its intentions without referring to any identity groups and without proposing a whole list of sanctions and sanctioning procedures. Compare the following preface to the list of 'rules' from the 'code of Ethics' from SQLite: No one is required to follow The Rule, to know The Rule, or even to think that The Rule is a good idea. The Founder of SQLite believes that anyone who follows The Rule will live a happier and more productive life, but individuals are free to dispute or ignore that advice if they wish. The founder of SQLite and all current developers have pledged to follow the spirit of The Rule to the best of their ability. They view The Rule as their promise to all SQLite users of how the developers are expected to behave. This is a one-way promise, or covenant. In other words, the developers are saying: "We will treat you this way regardless of how you treat us." ...with the text of the CCCoC: We pledge to act and interact in ways that contribute to an open, welcoming, diverse, inclusive, and healthy community. ... Community leaders are responsible for clarifying and enforcing our standards of acceptable behavior ... This Code of Conduct applies within all community spaces, and also applies when an individual is officially representing the community in public spaces ... Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be reported to the community leaders responsible for enforcement at community@libsql.org. All complaints will be reviewed and investigated promptly and fairly. All community leaders are obligated to respect the privacy and security of the reporter of any incident. ... Community leaders will follow these Community Impact Guidelines in determining the consequences for any action they deem in violation of this Code of Conduct: ... Correction ... Warning ... Temporary Ban ... Permanent Ban Take your pick of policies, I've taken mine and will follow the path of Benedict.
