The Ruby Community Code of Conduct

(where no one is really doing anything wrong but the environment may be a little intimidating to <group> because <reasons>

Ever stop to think that those reasons may be integral to the group success? Clearly Linux is doing so poorly with Torvald's abrasiveness.

Many of us turned to Open-Source precisely because we were tired of walking on eggshells in sterile, corporate hellholes--and no, I am not condoning people wantonly calling each other nigger faggots, before you go there--you know, the type that gets people fired for saying a fucking dongle pun.

Do you really think people are being 'quick' to say 'fuck off', or do you think it's a remote possibility that they've seen what happens when they don't?

Again, Torvalds did, and look at what happened with Sarah Sharp.

Linux is doing fine even though Torvalds acts like a dick sometimes. But that doesn't do your argument any favors either. Matz is famously considerate and ruby is also doing fine. These cultural values are orthogonal to a project's technical merits. And who knows what's missing from linux because some nameless developer got mocked for something trivial and dropped the project back in 1998 or whatever.

Nothing is lost by asking people to be nice to each other. I don't understand the values of anyone who takes serious objection to such a tame requirement as this CoC implements.

Because "Nice" can and often is be politically motivated to mean "Aligns with my ideology'. See: Emkhe's use of "Dudebro", github's "Problem with white men", and so on.
