Whatever happened to the days when the planet was a place for contributors to express themselves, both personally and professionally, "warts and all?" Given that the Fedora Planet is a fine place to express political views about what is going on in one country or another I can't believe we are now talking about policing posts that appear to actually be about free software. When I asked on this list about discouraging political rants on the planet because it makes us all look like idiots to new readers I was given the "warts and all" explanation of why that is fine. I accepted that then and unless it was complete BS this doesn't bother me in the least. > Maybe we don't need policies and enforcement (I certainly think they are > an annoying overhead on top of anything they are applied to), but I > certainly do not want to have to tolerate this kind of crap and enable > people to be less than excellent *just* for the sake of not having > policies and enforcement. > > The person is apparently a new FAS account holder and a recent Planet > Fedora addition, and just may not understand.

He will learn the ropes by having other contributors "be excellent" to him by making a stink about commenting on the Ubuntu manual project?
