This also seems to channel an inner Larry Wall :)

I'd suggest that the language of "reporting" a violation could be softened, 
since naturally there will even be disagreements about what constitutes a 
'violation'... as we know, this has been debated over the years on various 
threads that may or may not have turned personal, including by very 
valuable members of the community.  I'd hate to have some "kicking out" 
policy for that, referring to sage-flame seems like a very good idea. 
 Indeed, eventually (already? I don't think so, but who knows) we will have 
people coming from very different cultural contexts as to what constitutes 
respect or considerateness - e.g. directness versus face-saving versus 
something yet again?

What I do think this brings is a tool to remind all of us (!) that 
everything here reflects on Sage, whether or not you care about your own 
personal reputation.  So more or less in support, and certainly in support 
very much of the values themselves.

PS that includes trying to keep things PG and SFW!  I fully expect our 
first elementary-schooler to contribute something within a year... am I 
kidding?  I don't know!  I wouldn't be surprised.
