Richard, thanks for your input and for suggesting a specific change. Here is our reasoning behind this sentence: Harmful behavior has an impact regardless of the venue, and especially if the behavior is in public. For example, if someone is harassing a community member on social media, that creates a problem for the community because the target of harassment is (quite reasonably) deterred from participating in the OpenZFS community if their harasser is a member of our community. Another example would be if someone makes discriminatory or threatening statements against groups of people (women, minorities, etc). This creates a problem for the community because people won’t feel comfortable or safe interacting with someone who behaves this way. If these type of problems arise, we intend to address them, which is why we wrote this sentence in the Code of Conduct. As with any conduct issues, the way that these problems are addressed will depend on the particulars. For example, we would hope that informing someone that their behavior is harming others would be sufficient to prevent the incident from repeating. --matt ------------------------------------------ openzfs: openzfs-developer Permalink: https://openzfs.topicbox.com/groups/developer/T5dc11696c7b4bddb-Me80dae21dbbf7957c3d2110a Delivery options: https://openzfs.topicbox.com/groups/developer/subscription
