It is not an opposition of terms "code of conduct" vs "guidelines" or
whatever. The main problem is not the title but the form and some of
the content! Let me point out what I found very bad in it
- All paragraphs are orders
Be [...]
Be [...]
Be [...]
If you treat people like children, you should not expect from them
to be adults.
- The previous vote ended with the creation of a new discussion list
sage-ab...@googelgroups.com that no one has voted for, whose status is
not clear (public/private), whose function is not defined, etc.
- If there is a "violation" of a code of conduct, it means that it
was a rule. I like very much the modification of Anne about how to
behave when such a "violation" occurs (people are not police). But I
still find the term violation inappropriate.
- As pointed out several times, it is very dangerous to create rules
that have to be followed. The interpretation of a text is always
subjective. I am convinced that if this is stated as a rule then some
people will claim (honestly) that some others are wrong. Instead, it
should be only written that anybody should try very hard to follow
them... but no more.
