>Andrew, please stop digging. Your hole is only getting deeper. I'd do what I see fit it this situation, thank you. And I'd do whatever it takes to protect things I care about (and I do care about Ruby). >1. You are trying, once again, to derail the conversation with something (in this case, the “No Code of Conduct”) that does not actually address any of the *very real* problems we have seen presented in the last two weeks. These problems arrived here with Coraline and her SJW friends for the first time within 20 years. If I'm wrong - just show me example of someone being treated differently due to his/her race, skin color, sex or whatever else not related to technical problem in question. Don't try to fix things which are not broken. >2. You cited a known hate-monger, Theodore Beale. Mr Beale (aka “Vox Day”) has the dubious distinction of being the only person kicked out of the SFWA for abuse of an SFWA platform to spread a racist, misogynistic message about another SFWA author. All of this weakens any argument you might actually have. (If you doubt me, read PZ Meyers on Beale.) Known by whom? By racist and sexist SJW group? This just adds points to his opinion. And yes, I did read http://freethoughtblogs.com/pharyngula/2012/06/06/vox-day-is-one-sick-puppy/ this. You know what's funny? Personally, I don't like Theodore's position (as I despite christianity as much as any other religion) but I don't like angry lynch mobs even more. And please, interpret Coraline's "Thoughts on leaving technical mgmt of Ruby to Matz and delegating community mgmt to a separate org?" to me. Thank you.
