From an outsiders point of view, this looks really, really ridiculous. I |
| 2 |
personally feel that if something like this is even needed (which I don't |
| 3 |
believe), then it shouldn't be phrased as a "Code of Conduct" which implies |
| 4 |
strict compliance thereof. That's the gist of what I wanted to toss in, but |
| 5 |
below are a few conflicts/contradictions to note: |
| 6 |
|

"It's important to remember that a community where people feel uncomfortable or |
| 8 |
threatened is not a productive one." This is odd considering that the OP calls |
| 9 |
anyone who disagrees a terrorist. I'm pretty speechless over this one (and |
| 10 |
annoyed) so I'll leave it as is. |

"The Gentoo community and its members treat one another with respect." News to |
| 13 |
me. I think the users do a good job helping each other. Developer and user |
| 14 |
relations lack some imo. Developer and Developer relations are worse. Really, I |
| 15 |
would think it could be argued that developers aren't there to play footsie |
| 16 |
with people, but to actually do work -- having fun is a by product of doing |
| 17 |
something enjoyable. At the end of the day though, respect is earned. It isn't |
| 18 |
doled out by policy. Of course, both of the above quotes incite chuckles when |
| 19 |
emails are sent back and forth with ad hominem attacks and "don't troll." |

The bit about retaining developer status without commit changes doesn't make |
| 22 |
sense. Sounds like they've been demoted to an AT. Having your access denied |
| 23 |
should be severe enough that any and all status held with Gentoo should be |
| 24 |
revoked. If there, for some reason, is a need to temporarily deny access until |
| 25 |
a ruling can be had, then is another story. |
