Re: Code of Conduct: Is it time?

Josh,

If we do write a CoC, can we give it a different acronym.  I'm going to say something very sensitive here, so don't
thinkI am joking. 

When I was 5 I was raped by a next door neighbor. Everytime I here people talk about Cocs and how silencing they are I
thinkabout that. 

Thanks,
Regina

Hello,

A lot of good discussion has happened on this thread and as a whole I think it has been determined that if done
correctly,a CoC would not be a bad idea. Of course we need to write one. 

A CoC is about providing a safe, respectful, productive, and collaborative place for any person who is willing to
contributein a safe, respectful, productive and collaborative way. 

A CoC is not about being offended. The act of being offended is purely a recipients response and usually because the
recipientis more interested in being a victim than moving forward.
