Great! I can't wait for another project adopting an Islamic CoC (not to be enforced!), and read the comments.
What would be wrong with that?

Re: Sqlite: Code Of Conduct
#252Regardless if this is a joke or not, this is not acceptable, you can't put religious things in the code of conduct. Even if it is a joke, it is still awful and I wish that it gets removed quickly.
Which code of conduct was that rule in? :)
The one about not being a dick to other people.

> you can't put religious things in the code of conduct. Why not? Isn't the whole point of a code-of-conduct to describe the ethical values of a community? And isn't all ethics a kind of religion, even if it does not always make explicit mention of deity? From that point of view, every code-of-conduct is a credo, by definition. Suppose I were to go in and edit St. Benedict's rules to omit all reference to "God" and "…
well yes you could if you put it like that, my main point is that in that case you would have to make sure the community as a whole (all the main devs) share that point of view.

Didn't we all encounter bosses who would call endless meetings and who would laugh at points that they could not understand? This one is important, even if the fellow from the Name of the Rose had a strange take on it.
Upvoted for the reference. If only we had a copy of the Second Book of Poetics...
Why was this comment downvoted?
Re: Sqlite: Code Of Conduct
#255I had to read this as an elaborate joke around such codes. It'd be certainly amusing to see people trying to be in compliance.
What makes you think people being respectful to each other would be amusing?
The religious ones, in special, are hard to follow for an Atheist like me. I suppose members of non-Christian religions will find it difficult too. This shortcoming is so salient it's hard to imagine it never came up in discussions.

Here the discussion was a bit broader and the point was about the religious context rather than the Benedictine themselves. To be fair the Benedictine order wasn't one of the worst orders with respct to whole witch/heresy craze but that kinda furthers the irony of the whole situation: watching to the other side while someone is being persecuted (or bullied) puts you closer to the oppressor than to the oppresed.
> watching to the other side while someone is being persecuted (or bullied) puts you closer to the oppressor than to the oppresed. This would then dismiss every CoC-related effort, because most enforcers do little regarding humans being persecuted in other countries...
This is a bit of a logical fallacy: the fact that you are not able (maybe even because of your own limited self) to do good in every possible context it doesn't mean that you shouldn't do good in the contexts whee you can!

Are you trying to communicate or be a dick? The only universal value I am aware of in san francisco is capitalism.
I would ask the same thing of you. Are you playing dumb or are you really not aware that SF is kinda out there on the U.S. left wing? If I, a european who've only visited the U.S. a handful of times, know more of U.S. politics than you do, I really don't know what to say.
It’s only left wing in a very meaningless definition of left wing. I live there :) San Francisco hasn’t deserved the reputation for decades at this point. It’s the stronghold of Pelosi, a neoliberal and a staunch centrist. Ditto with Feinstein.
Re: Sqlite: Code Of Conduct
#258I am surprised at how dismissive and intolerant the comments here are of this code of conduct. And I say this as an atheist that still harbors a lot of resentment against my family's religion. Do you have so little empathy that you can't possibly image someone adopting The Rule of St. Benedict in good faith (no pun intended)?
> so little empathy that you can't possibly image someone adopting The Rule of St. Benedict in good faith I think it's more that the wording suggests the author pushing his own faith onto others.
I think he can't possibly do that as SQLite doesn't accept contributions. There are literally zero people impacted by this CoC that weren't in on it from the beginning.

It is, and that's what I tried to highlight with my comment.
Apply your comment to the monks then.
