I was just having a private conversation with someone why I dislike off-topic discussions in the mailing list. And I have mentioned exactly this example. There are not only cultural boundaries (for example, I don't celebrate father's day in June, it is often perceived as a commercial event, etc) as well as personal boundaries.
Off-topic discussions do not belong on a technical mailing list. A mailing list gives you direct access to everyone's inbox. It is a limited medium that does not allow filtering by category. Before pressing the send button, please think carefully if the message will be useful for the majority of the 2500 members that will receive it. I will delete any off-topic discussion in the future. I will update the mailing list instructions to make such clearer. Finally, this is a good time to remember we have a Code of Conduct. I am not linking to it as a way to shutdown the discussion or as a threat. I am linking because it does a good job on summing up what are our values: https://github.com/elixir-lang/elixir/blob/master/CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md#our-values Have a great week, *José Valim* www.plataformatec.com.br Skype: jv.ptec Founder and Director of R&D On Mon, Jun 20, 2016 at 3:16 PM, John W Higgins <[email protected]> wrote: > I do find the need to maybe mention that it's really pathetic to put down > single fathers whose wives walk away from their families.
