Padraic,
Taking a step back, instead taking a knee-jerk reaction; I think Kevin
brought up a valid point. Is very clear that there are certain actors
that are pushing for a specific version of this code of conduct to use
it as a political tool.
This is it what concerns most people regarding this specific CoC; you
want to debate the CoC proposed, fine. Personally here are my issues
with it:
- Language is vague and open to interpretation
- There is no mechanism or ability for one to confront ones accuser
- The CoC seems to be more concern with punitive action rather than
establishing the values of the community.
Allan.

attacking and attempting to eject from projects/employment people she

Code of Merit that Pavel recommended for consideration because she
associates the author of said code with a group that—though entirely

Are you here to debate the proposed COC, or to mount personal attacks
on someone outside of the PHP community?
(My deepest apologies for such a tremendous run-on sentence.)
I certainly hope this isn’t indicative of the spirit of this
proposal. This exchange really seems to suggest the goal of these
codes in general, and now possibly this one in particular, is what so
many of us have feared: to exclude people with wrong ideas and
associations, as defined by the in-group.
Is that what the RFC actually states though? As it's a code of
conduct, it's directed at specific actions not whatever is running
through your, or my, head.
