Thanks for pointing this out, Shirish! I stand by your point: The new CoC is just too long. I saw Martin's reply to this, refering to how Creative Commons implements an answer for a similar problem space — If we want this level of detail and verbosity, items should somehow be separated into sections. But that leads back to the same place: It gets us a document that won't be fully read by anybody. I understand the reasoning for expanding our Debian CoC into this... But I feel this is just too much. There are IMO too many examples and repetition. I feel a much more succint document will be much more useful, even if it does not spell out in detail all bad interactions — In this regard, Holger's mail is spot on. If we try to spell out too much, we will be cornered into contradictions. I'm sorry I don't have a "positive" way of critizing this (I'm not proposing, I'm just saying "this is not what I'd say that works"). I'm currently too busy to properly think and contribute to discussion.
