The banner on our sites is a continuation of that effort, recognizing
that at this moment:
Except that it's not. That's part of the problem. IMO, and many other
people's opinions, the banner is /counter/ to those goals.
I do not agree with the Rust team. I would prefer to make my technology
decisions based on technological criterion. But if you force me to make
that decision based on your religion, on your specific brand of racism,
then I will.
There is agreement on the code of conduct. There is not agreement on
the banner. IMO, the banner is out of line with the goals of this group
and with the code of conduct. It's inappropriate. It needs to be removed.
The only other alternative keeping with the code of conduct requires
many other viewpoints and opinions to be expressed and that process
alone would kill the utility of these forums turning them into yet
another cesspool of religious disagreement. We're not going to agree on
these social issues. Agreement with any particular religion should not
be required to participate nor should we be required to endure social
abuse to do so.
