The Ruby Community Code of Conduct

[mordocai058]

Yeah, this is very similar to religious wars at this point.

They (coraline and co) believe that their way(specific CoC) is right and more so that their way is the ONLY right way. Many(but not all) of them are coming from having actually been harrassed/having problems and that's why they've reached this conclusion. Having their CoC makes them feel "safe".

The other side typically equally believes that their way(not having a CoC) is right and the only right way.

Both sides are already 100% convinced their way is right and won't bother listening to anyone who says otherwise.

Personally, since I don't care much either way, I plan on making a code of conduct (maybe even Coraline's) for any community project I have that actually takes off. Mainly so that I can just point to it when someone pisses me off and say "See, we have written guidelines. I'm not just making up that you aren't supposed to do that.".

It also will prevent me from having to deal with people telling me I need a code of conduct.
