However the meaning of it in the context of conversation was clearly directed to some DECISIONS made by whoever was responcible for them. But he defenitely did not touch any personalities in particular. And I cannot see in his comment anything about anybody's in particular background > Such discourse is clearly neither considerate or respectful, and goes > against both the letter and spirit of the fedora code of conduct. Irony and sarcasm are rarely considered "considerate or respectful" by those aimed. However, both irony and sarcasm belong to a civilized disputes toolset and are used in many public discussions on any level. IMHO, some people should stop being too vigilant. I'm not really sure GNOME needs souch tough protection? Healthy critisism never hurts and always helpfull. Without it any project is liable to lose track and go to a wrong direction until ended up in a ditch. Let people use humor, irony, sarcasm, and whatever else (except explicit insults certainly) and be thankfull they do. By speaking it out their way they help you more than you think. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
