Hmm. Me
To be fairly honest I for one agree with both parties. Having a CoC for an
email list is a silly idea and brings literally nothing to the table.
Now I do think Richard proved that ppl can be rude or "offensive" on the
web to a certain degree, but I do think he makes fair points about the

To enforce good conduct in a suitably Pythonic manner, I hereby
propose the foundation of the Yorkshire Inquisition, headed by Steve.
