Well that's something anyway.  Thanks.

Sorry, it's because  i don't see a way to give you the below without it :)
What I'm looking for (and AFAICT also Rafael and maybe other people) is a 
clearer statement that "offenses" outside of LLVM-defined spaces need to meet a 
much higher bar to be considered problematic within the LLVM community.

How would you define that bar without defining the offenses?
IE what do you think would make it less subject to vague discretion than what 
is there now other than defining the offenses?

Someone tripping over my posting on the Militant Flat Earth Society should not 
get a free pass to boot me out of LLVM.
The single word "rare" in the current code doesn't feel like enough.

I don't actually disagree with your criticism, IMHO, i just don't know of a way 
to generate more clarity.

Not looking for that.  Looking to avoid being trolled.  ("Trolled" isn't the 
right word here but I've lost track of what the right one is. Hopefully my 
intent is clear enough.)

I'm really not sure what you mean here.



| I guess one could write "In addition, violations of this code outside these 
spaces may, in rare
cases, affect a person's ability to participate within them, when the conduct 
amounts to an egregious violation of the communitie's social standard."

If that's what it means, is there a problem with writing it that way?

What do you believe that explains that the older version did not?
No matter how you write it, it will not precisely define the conduct that will 
or will not get you kicked out.



| But it's not, in practice, any different.
I concede it's not any different to a lawyer, which I know you are; most of us 
are not lawyers.

That's not really relevant of course - i meant that it's not any different in 
practice than any other set of social conduct rules one is subject to.

I doubt, for example, either the Google or Sony employee handbooks have precise 
bright lines on what conduct is okay and not okay.   Yet they still have 
serious consequences.

Again, if it's not any different, is there a problem with writing it in a way 
that provides clarity to the non-lawyer population?

I don't think any way you write it will provide clarity as to precisely what 
conduct will and will not be okay.

Anyway, since I don't think what you seem to want is possible, and I think it's 
fine as-is.
But I understand if you disagree.
