Re: [CODE4LIB] From the Community Support Squad wrt "Note [admiistratativia]"

[Andromeda Yelton]

Please keep in mind that not everyone has an institutional affiliation, and
even people who do might prefer to use a non-institutional address so that
the address they use to interface with code4lib remains stable even as
their institutional affiliation changes, especially if they're in a term
appointment or temporary/contingent labor situation where they cannot
expect long tenure (regrettably common).

Personally I'm also quite content with consistent pseudonyms, but I'm happy
to defer to the community on that one if there's a consensus to the
contrary. Requiring institutional affiliation has larger philosophical and
practical challenges and I would not be comfortable with that.

I know this doesn't fix the underlying problem, but in the interim as
someone who does git/markdown regularly and is very comfortable with it, if
you have a proposed correction/suggestion for the code of conduct and don't
feel comfortable submitting a PR, I will volunteer to format and submit on
your behalf.

One thing I hope to see in the revision/update to our codes-of-conduct is in 
regards to signatures; personally, I think each posting to the mailing list 
ought to be non-anonymous.

With the advent of some sort of new SMTP enhancement called DMARC, it is 
possible to post to LISTSERV applications (like ours) and have your email 
address obfuscated, like above. This is apparently a feature. [0] Yes, direct 
replies to an address like 001fd0f2bb98-dmarc-requ...@lists.clir.org do 
make it back to the original sender, but without some sort of signature can be 
very difficult to know to whom one is replying.

I think any poster to the mailing ought to be easily identifiable. One ought to 
be able to easily know the name of the poster, their affiliation, and their 
email address. Such makes things: 1) more transparent, and 2) lends credibility 
to the post. Even if I don't sign this message you can see that my name is Eric 
Morgan, I work for Notre Dame, and my address is emor...@nd.edu. The posting 
above works because there is/was a full signature. Postings from 
firstname_lastn...@gmail.com are difficult to swallow but I can live with them. 
But postings from EM <001fd0f2bb98-dmarc-requ...@lists.clir.org> with no 
signature I think are not respectful. Remember, "On the Internet, nobody knows 
you are a dog." [1]

Just another observation on github:
- I think the balance of labor in the "bekind2" statement is off. this is
my opinion and others may disagree. either way, the idea of engaging in
discussion about emotional labor and microaggressions on public github PRs
is not appealing to me (yes I know this list is public too)
