Your original quote >>> The problem with an approach focused on punishment and expulsion is that >>> it helps isolating and eventually ostracizing bad actors, limiting the >>> total damage they may cause. doesn’t mention intent, and my response was based on that. > So a solution focused on punishment does not work. > Punishment makes sense for deliberately committed acts. Having unintentionally upset my wife on many occasions, and having her punish me as a result, I disagree strongly with both of those claims. =) > to apply to the elephant in our interaction room effectively, > the "enforcement" mechanism would need to be quite different. I’d rather hope (and firmly believe) that the combination of a CoC (or similar) and several other related initiatives would make "enforcement" rare to the point of vanishing. Anyway, I’m off to teach for 5 hours and then music-direct for another 5, so I’ll return to this thread tomorrow.
