Speaking for myself, I expect there will be occasional impedance mismatches in communication between people from different cultures, and people with different neurotypes. That is not only expected, it is also perfectly fine. If people end up feeling like they are in conflict with each other, and they would like help resolving it, the first task of the TAB will be to mediate, and help people figure out how communication could be improved. The goal of the code of conduct is to make the community welcoming, and to help people with being a part of the Linux community. Mediation is not about telling people what to do, but about asking the people involved what they would like to see, and helping to breach the gap between their styles of communication. As an aside, the TAB has no power to remove anyone from the community. Patches are applied by maintainers, mailing lists are run by their administrators. The only things the TAB can do is mediate and advise. -- All Rights Reversed.
