Martin, thanks for your feedback. I appreciate your specific suggestions of how to reword the section about "discriminatory jokes". A few more specific replies below:

I think that's a fair concern, and we can address this specific example by rewording it along the lines of your suggestions. That said, to address the general concern, we do have a community review process for any changes to the Code of Conduct going forward, detailed here: http://www.open-zfs.org/wiki/Working_Group_and_Code_of_Conduct_Mechanics#Revision_Policy_.2F_Process > > So there goes my proposal - can we transform this part towards something > saying rather: "Words can hurt.

We've updated the document to replace the point about "discriminatory jokes" with: - Discriminatory language in any form. - When joking, make sure what you say is not an insult to some people. --matt ------------------------------------------ openzfs: openzfs-developer Permalink: https://openzfs.topicbox.com/groups/developer/T5dc11696c7b4bddb-M5965a4e50916cba232330465 Delivery options: https://openzfs.topicbox.com/groups/developer/subscription
