I've not read the whole of the thread for the simple reason that it's a sad reflection on the world today that we need to discuss it at all on a project that has no political or religious content. My own view on life is that we would be much better off if both religion and politics were banned and no one has the right to kill another ... especially in war. Do we need a Coc ... Nowadays probably since common decency has been lost? And it should be a lot easier to adopt an 'off the shelf' one than it is to decide on a stock open source licence agreement? Do we need a judiciary to enforce it ... NO even when you enforce a decision on the world stage, the 'looser' simply moves to a higher court ... or ignores the decision altogether. Do we need a 'Conflict Resolution Team' instead ... Again probably yes, but who would actually want to take on that hot potato? Since very few of the external discussion channels effectively police their traffic for the sort of harassment that is being discussed, all that can be done is to moderate traffic that IS under PHP control, so would it not be better initially to better moderate those channels? PHP has in my opinion always been built on common courtesy and so has not had to be pro active in policing contributors but that time is long passed?
