Direct personal experience on a conduct board, 10 years over the
last 20
serving on FreeBSD core team. Most of that time as core's
specialist in
interpersonal disputes. That qualifies me to have an informed,
expert
opinion.
So what are your credentials?
I'm an expert because I say I am.? What kind of conduct is that?
Many past and present core members found that the existing document was
insufficient in dealing with the conflict they were being asked to
resolve. This resulted in some relatively high profile incidents that
harmed the project. Having direct experience with the problem at hand,
and having been voted into a position to deal with this, does in fact
entitle Warner to speak with some authority on the subject.
Furthermore, we polled committers and found that there was near universal
support for respectful communication and for removing people who were
unable to conduct themselves well. Core needs a document that provides
guidelines so that this process is not capricious or surprising.
