Please remember that our Code of Conduct requires us to maintain
respectful communication. It's been suggested - initially by Neil
Gaiman¹ - that the term used above should be replaced by “treating other
people with respect”. Your first paragraphs read quite differently if we
make the substitution:
IMHO the complete brouha is treating other people
with respect run amok!
I would request that we return to the matter at
hand - - - - computers and computing and its tools
and leave the treating other people with respect
to the bureaucratic elite for whom it has become a
driving passion.
If there's something that treating other people with respect is stopping
you from saying, it doesn't belong on this list.
cheers,
Stewart
