I am disgusted by the reactions of detractors of the CoC which Jeff proposed, and by being attacked privately like an enemy for my own freely-shared opinions.
That is why I am going to set digest mode on for the mailing list, so that I will read messages once every month and not be harassed every day by this useless anti-CoC endeavour, which is a distraction that diverts my time from useful work. So you know that whatever you post it will be read at end of the month and not immediately. Taking now to private mail messages off-list: I have set a filter for marking as spam everything from this list with off-list destination to my private address, exception for the list admins. Those who insist writing off-list to this private address will be reported to their respective mail providers, again exception for the list admins. Stay well and God be with you. -------- Forwarded Message -------- From: Bruce Layne <linux...@thinkingdevices.com> To: Valerio Bellizzomi <vale...@selnet.org> Subject: Re: [Emc-users - OFF LIST] Code of Conduct Date: Tue, 13 Jul 2021 00:03:31 -0400 Mailer: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:78.0) Gecko/20100101 Thunderbird/78.11.0 On 7/12/21 9:21 PM, Valerio Bellizzomi wrote: LinuxCNC is a rare case in such, a blinkenlight in the darkness. See if that endures after the mess. That sounds a bit like an arsonist taking credit for a fire. The mess was caused by the Code of Conduct being forced on the community, and now it's threatening to destroy the community. >From my perspective, it sounds like, "LinuxCNC has never needed a Code of Conduct, but we're going to force you to have one, and if you resist, we'll destroy LinuxCNC. You can either give in to our demands and exploit LinuxCNC as a vehicle to extend our political beliefs, or we'll destroy LinuxCNC and you'll have nothing." The sad part is, the second law of thermodynamics implies that it's easier to destroy rather than create. There are plenty of recent examples of a few politically motivated individuals destroying projects, doxing people and getting them fired, bullying corporations into making political statements, etc. It's called cancel culture and it's feared with good reason. It took a lot of work to build Rome but it was comparatively a simple and easy thing for the Visigoths to destroy it. As an engineer, I see myself as a builder - someone who is working to reverse entropy to create, and not a modern day Visigoth using entropy to destroy what others have created. _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
