And how should I prove it? I can speak only for myself, and myself hates CoCs and any other dumb rules that people create, because they've degraded their communication skills and are unable to teach each other. > Nothing you've said thus far has been convincing to me (nor it seems any > other community member). > Otherwise it is speculation. > > I can say for certain that some organizations expect such when providing > grant money to open source communities. > For me that's sufficient reason. Prooflinks, please. Money was a invented as a tool to compensate people the loss of their time for working on things that are hard to do. If somebody will find funding for SCons that requires me being nice, I can do this job - no problem, but it is hard for me to emit fake emotions when I don't feel this way. > I will also say that if the SCons project finds that having a CoC is > damaging to it's community, then we'll revise or revoke it as appropriate. > (where damaging doesn't equal one person is being unreasonable or abusive > and doesn't like having the fact that their behavior violates the CoC, but > does equal contributions to the project including features and/or bugfixes > and/or docs slow to a standstill, and/or usage of SCons diminishes in a > meaningful way measurable to the adoption of a CoC). I don't understand this paragraph. CoC is a garden wall for people like me. If you have a real story why SCons community needs one - then it is ok, but adopting some stupid policy just because somebody has one and because it is fashionable - please don't add me to that flock - I want to have my own will. -- anatoly t. _______________________________________________ Scons-dev mailing list Scons-dev@scons.org https://pairlist2.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/scons-dev
