And you might know - I rather liked Lefty's random talk on his buddhist pilgrimage at the last GUADEC, but Aaron's bacon-fest horribly offended my sensibilities [ or something ], and as for Miguel's historic "Unix Sucks" talk, it's hard to know where to begin un-twisting myself ;-) [or perhaps not]. > As for the hazy areas, common sense is a better > judge than a set of written rules.

Quite; this is ultimately the best sanction; I assume it has been silently applied against the most egregious offenders, as it always has been. I'm sure lots of people worked very hard on trying to come up with a sane sounding policy ( and it does seem fairly mild - the punishment AFAIR being "a very hard stare" ;-). But it does seem a little silly to need a policy at all. Ultimately, I guess we need to accept and live with the fact that ~everyone is unbalanced in some way, and has some or other noxiously offensive opinion, and perhaps provide some interactive booing & hissing / sharp questions from the audience at times ;-) Regards, Michael. -- michael.me...@novell.com <><, Pseudo Engineer, itinerant idiot _______________________________________________ foundation-list mailing list foundation-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list
