I was waiting for the "We'll talk about them in a bit." part or some other |
| 2 |
reactions to this. As there have been none so far, here's what *I* |
| 3 |
think. :-) |

"E. [Proctors/Devrel] determine recruiting needs and recruit to achieve |

them." |

Members of an institution that is supposed to impose disciplinary action |
| 12 |
on Gentoo devs and others should not be recruited but elected. |

Otherwise their authority will be challenged all the time. Elected members |
| 15 |
will have at least a *bit* more autority. |

That's a rather bad idea - no option to think about how to handle a |
| 21 |
situation? If I were cynical, I'd say that's what got you into the |
| 22 |
current situation. ;) |

"They [Proctors] work "real time"" |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
That'll lead to rushed (and therefore potentially wrong) decisions. |

IMO, we don't need proctors but if the proctors are kept, they should work |
| 30 |
on a comlaint basis, too. Suppose both parties come from "Czamistan" - |
| 31 |
they both know "big-balled goat lover" is not an insult but a |
| 32 |
compliment - why should proctors react? |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
Suppose I come from Germany (which I do :-) ) and am being called |
| 35 |
a "big-balled goat lover" - if you could see me, you'd witness me roaring |
| 36 |
with laughter. Even though I don't know what "Czamistan" is and that this |
| 37 |
is meant to be a compliment. Many people can, btw, read between the lines |
| 38 |
and understand what is actually meant. :-) |

We don't a big brother watching us - we can decide for ourselves if we're |
| 41 |
offended or not. If we are, we can either complain to DevRel (if the |
| 42 |
other party is a dev) or, if the proctors are kept, to proctors. |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
Without proctors, we can simply ignore non-dev offenders. We may have to |
| 45 |
deal with other devs but there's no obligation to interact with certain |
| 46 |
users. |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
"and after some conditioning", "re-orientation" and some other terms used |
| 49 |
in either or both documents. |

I'm sorry and maybe it comes from the cultural differences but, honestly, |
| 52 |
to me this sounds like we're going to have "re-education camps" for |
| 53 |
the "misguided". |
