Btw, I'm not sure, do we actually have a written policy forbidding
profanity? On the one hand, it seems clear that the message in question
that started this activity was both unduly hostile and unduly vulgar, it
would be good to have a clear rule whether any profanity at all is
forbidden, just for consistency. (I think I've seen other profanity
used in less hostile and vulgar contexts, that didn't trigger such a
response though I've not gone back and checked for specific cases.
While I'm not particularly sensitive, I think having consistent rules
here would be good.)

"3) You are prohibited from posting or transmitting to or from this
Website any unlawful, threatening, libelous, defamatory, obscene,
pornographic, or profane material"
These cases usually come down to a judgement call on what constitutes
"unreasonable behaviour", and that is notoriously difficult to
legislate for. However in these cases, warnings had been given and
had been ignored. We therefore felt that a ban was the appropriate
response. As I've said, I sincerely hope it's an action we will not
have to repeat.

Code of Conduct
Please respect the rules for community interactions and collaboration as
follows.
Be Inclusive
Welcome new people to the project. Give them the time you were given
when you first joined the community. And if you weren't given enough
time please set a new example for others to live by. Be open and
transparent so others can participate on an equal footing and contribute
to the project in their own way. Everyone has something to contribute.
Be Respectful and Honest
All OpenSolaris participants have the right to be treated with respect
at all times in all venues. While we may not always agree with each
other, there is no excuse for poor behavior or personal attacks. We
expect community members to be honest and ethical, and if a genuine
miscommunication occurs we ask that people take a break before
responding. If things can't be worked out, we ask that the OGB mediate a
common understanding. A community where some members feel uncomfortable
is not a productive one.
Be Considerate of Diversity
Any decisions you make will affect other users and community members,
and we expect you to take those consequences into account when making
decisions. So be considerate of community members coming from different
backgrounds. They may not have access to resources you have, and they
may not speak your language. So, be patient with people. And be careful
that you don't misinterpret someone's tone or content during
conversations. We encourage constructive criticism so we can learn and
maintain quality, but it's just as important to be considerate so we
don't misunderstand each other.
