Nice idea and worth a try. I have one concern. Since we are talking |
24 |
CoC here, I'd like to emphasise that "assholeness" should be determined |
25 |
within the guidelines of the CoC. Not by some person's own conception |
26 |
of "assholeness" --- I'd hate to see a flame war about just who is being |
27 |
the asshole in any particular instance. |
