I'm trying, but I'm probably not making myself clear enough. If a single person is offended once at a conference, that's a kind of personal conflict. I don't think that's a problem the policy is intended to address. The problem it is intended to address is some hacker-minorities being *repeatedly* mistreated, usually due to old habits rather than malice. As a result, they'll feel unwelcome in the community, and are very likely to leave. > The proposed solution is to let her disrupt any talk she disapproves by > sending home the speaker at the second warning. If the current wording says so, I hope you can agree on improving it. I imagine some concensus on the problem description is needed first. I've put up an ancient file I've had lying around (by Dave Boyd, 1993, I have no idea where or how originally published) at http://www.lysator.liu.se/~nisse/misc/gender-diversity-training-experience.txt Might be enlightning to some here (and boring to others).
