If one outcome of the GR is to ask people to shut up… then… again as I wrote in the other mail, I think it does not serve Debian's highest good. I agree with Andrew that at least some of the options in the GR were not about diversity or inclusion, but about exclusion and the opposite of diversity. I pointed it out *clearly* before hand, but that was all I could do. And I feel that Andrew has every right on this Earth to state this in a public mailing list on Debian. He did not say anything offensive or anything intended to hurt anyone or otherwise violating the Code of Conduct. So herewith I speak up for Andrew's right to voice his disappointment here as long as he does so within the Code of Conduct. "Being nice" is still something different than "shutting up". And asking someone to shut up in my point of view is not "being nice" to this person. That said, from the topic of your mail, it is about being "nice to your fellow Debian colleagues"… however we all know that your mail is related to the outcome of the GR and you even wrote so. Best, -- Martin
