Because following CoC makes people CoC-followers, which is offensive for some. Don't be a jerk rule is good enough and the rules should be applied only when they are needed on personal basis. I am against CoCs. It makes me feel regulated and I am sick and tired of that, so I likely to act against it and you have to ban me. -- anatoly t. _______________________________________________ Scons-dev mailing list [email protected] https://pairlist2.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/scons-dev
