<snip: More clear arguments> I'm just adding one more comment that I don't think I've seen yet in this thread. (Although it's been a long thread, and I don't remember all the points from all the other mails this late in the game...) To my recollection, the recent flame wars have for the most part been between devs and non-devs. Now, this proposed moderation only addresses one half (the non-dev side) of that "problem", by moderating it away. I personally think that a better solution would be to address the @gentoo.org side of the problem, since that is, in theory, something that we already have control over via devrel. If we have our own house in order and provide leadership and direction on the list by not replying to personal attacks (or perceived personal attacks) with more personal attacks (or perceived personal attacks), and always keeping "our side" of the technical discussions purely technical and non-sarcastic, I really believe that flame wars will just flicker and die. Maybe this just means that we need more people to report "developers acting badly" to devrel. In closing, I also disagree with the Moderation Proposal. I think that it may stop the flame wars at the cost of stopping valuable discussions. -- Jim Ramsay Gentoo/Linux Developer (rox,gkrellm)
