It was agreed that it should make it clear that it's the hostility about these topics that is not acceptable, then it was a matter of finding a way of expressing that within the IRC line-length rules.
The new text is: Some topics are controversial and often end in negativity. Take care on subjects like war, race, religion, politics, gender, sexuality, drugs, potentially illegal activities and suicide. The topics are not banned; stating your position is ok, but trolling, baiting, hostility or repetition are not. If you are asked to stop, do so politely. Disputes to !appeals, please adhere to !Freenode Policy and the !CodeOfConduct. I think that this makes it clear that sexuality is not a banned topic, but hostility against it is. What do others think? Scott -- Scott James Remnant sc...@ubuntu.com
