I just gave this constitution a quick read and am personally not too keen on
it. Make a document like this, and I suspect you will soon have people
quibbling over what goes in it and how it is to be interpreted, rather than
agreeing on the spirit of what it was intended to do (ensure open
communication on GNU/Linux issues, in our case).

My solution here is simple:

Articulate the group's goal / focus and simply ask for people's "buy in" to
it. People will be attracted to that positive goal and will naturally start
ignoring those who fall shy of that goal.

(Personally, I'm cool with leaving open the door for "attacks, even in
jest".  I spent 4 months recovering a hosed hard drive for a friend with
F/OSS tools, and I failed at several attempts.  Others here savagely made
fun of me and how pointless my attempts were. To a large degree, Dino et al
were right!)
