You can't have an open and welcoming environment if you're open to people who work to make the environment non-welcoming to others. It is, like most things in life, a balance. There's an old saying: the problem with an open mind is that people throw all kinds of crap into it. Neither one's mind nor one's community should be *too* open. Inclusivity does mean telling people who are not willing to allow others to be included that they should find a different project to be part of. The point of a diversity statement is not to accept all behavior of any kind. It's to make a positive statement about what sort of behavior we're actively seeking out and want to align ourselves with. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-project-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
