That was irony. It seems that when the CoC comes up people react as |
| 16 |
if it is some kind of onerous burden, which is ironic since it has |
| 17 |
been applied with so much reservation that you can say practically |
| 18 |
anything you want on Gentoo media without repercussion. As far as I |
| 19 |
can tell it takes a pretty extreme action to get any kind of |
| 20 |
enforcement undertaken. |

People seem to think that everybody is out to censor everything, when |
| 23 |
the reality seems to be the opposite for the most part. I'm not |
| 24 |
really aware of any communities that are more lenient. I think that |
| 25 |
largely reflects the fact that we don't have an over-abundance of |
| 26 |
contributors so nobody is in a rush to go kicking people out. I |
| 27 |
suspect that people were more heavy-handed back when Gentoo was in its |
| 28 |
prime, though it was never a large community compared to more |
| 29 |
mainstream distros. |
