Dang why is this flagged?

Also as a muslim, it's very amusing to me that there are people who are fighting for me without my asking them and yet them telling me and other muslim it's bad.

It's hilarious what the politically programmed noise-makers think of themselves.

The same way they never ask me, a disabled person, what I think.

I'm only to be trotted out for tear votes. I am to be seen, not heard. My opinion is irrelevant.

What problem? We didn't need CoC for 20 years, why do we need it now?

because software development has become a professional enterprise, and with that people develop standards on how to interact with each other in large and small organisations, rather than just winging it in a garage. Anyway, "we didn't need X then, why do we need X now" is an absolutely atrocious argument. Because demands and communities change obviously, and with them how we conduct and organise our communities and o…

I agree, it's only in the last four years that software has been professional.

Before then, it was just naked fat virgin neckbeards sitting in basements hitting a hammer against a rock.

No software of any significance has ever been written before 2014.

What has God to do with SQLite?

About as much as pronouns have to do with FreeBSD.

So you think it is bad for folks in the FreeBSD project to not be able to freely insult others by misgendering them? Why is this such a problem for you?

These code of conducts all boil down to "don't be a dick." It's too bad we need them, but we clearly do. Certain groups (LGBT, minorities) tend to get more abuse than others, so issues involving them are often spelled out more explicitly.

All large organizations have written standards of conduct. Open source software projects these days are often large, and are made up of heterogeneous groups of people. It's obvious that CoCs can be useful just the same, to reduce ambiguity in conflict if nothing else.

That’s a nice set of conclusions you’ve jumped to. I didn’t say anything like what you are attributing to me.

FreeBSD has their reasons and expression of the “don’t be a dick” rule, and SQLite has their reasons and expression of the same rule. I don’t see why either one is worth carping about. Both are expressions of cultural values that have nothing to do with the software being produced.
