You post a banner within the Go community that is off topic and is highly controversial (this thread is clear evidence of that). You then squelch discussion of the banner itself and the topic of the banner by other members of the community, while leaving the banner in place. I claim that the presence of the banner is in clear violation of the posted Go Community Code of Conduct, and repeat my request for the removal of the banner. To quote from the Code of Conduct page: Be friendly and welcoming Avoid destructive behavior: Discussing potentially offensive or sensitive issues; this all too often leads to unnecessary conflict. And from the Pledge: ...we as contributors and maintainers pledge to making participation in our project and our community a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of...[long list of attributes snipped]. The banner is welcoming to some, but clearly unwelcoming to others. Enough members of this community have expressed that they disagree that the banner is appropriate in this venue and are offended by its presence. The banner has caused, and is still causing, harm to the community by dividing the community over a topic that is orthogonal to why this community exists. I strongly agree that this is an important discussion and also that having it on golang-nuts is not working. However, as long as the banner is posted within the Go community, it is unreasonable to expect the discussion to not happen within public community spaces. ...Marvin -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
