Can you identify specifically what you find patronizing and CYA-ish? Neither were our intentions; help me understand how we've failed there?

- jdc 13y agoSorry, I realize I am being harsh, and am grateful for all the work of the Django community organizers. Let me clarify my previous remarks. The items under the "Be careful in the words that you choose" heading (which make up a significant part of the document), except for maybe the doxing clause, addresses an apparently antisocial audience, which is patronizing. And what I mean by CYA-ish, is that the intent of the code seems to be to prevent worst-case scenarios. Whereas the HN and Hacker School guidelines aim to boost the level of discourse and friendliness, the Django code offers suggestions on how to avoid getting arrested.
