And this is exactly why I don't want us to give opening to such kind of people to come here and try to abuse our CoC for their means - basically for "hounding out" people they for some reason disagree with. They exist, and they are eager and willing to destroy (not physically but professionally and reputation-wise) everybody who disagrees with them, and I am not exaggerating. And I don't want them here. So anything that hints that they are welcome to do their thing here makes me feel uneasy (having CoC does not, but declaring that we police the behavior outside the community feels like going into that direction). Here I think "hounding out" is not our favorite pastime, and I think it should remain this way. That is unless, of course, this account is a troll created to destroy the CoC cause. In which case I envy the power of commitment and the talent behind it and I wish that talent were applied to a more worthy goal. But in any case this one is not alone - I've read many comments if not as explicit, but with same thought and intent, on various forums. Some of them, surprisingly, even signed by real names. -- Stas Malyshev smalys...@gmail.com -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
