Kent, I'd like to gently remind you that Shuah is not speaking in her
personal capacity, but as a representative of the Code of Conduct
Committee[1], as she has noted in her signature. The Code of Conduct
Committee is appointed by, and reports to, the TAB[2], which is an
elected body composed of kernel developers and maintainers.
FYI, without taking any stance on the issue under debate here, I find the
language used by Shuah on behalf of the Code of Conduct committee
extremely patronising and passive aggressive. This might be because I
do not have an American academic class background, but I would suggest
that the code of conduct committee should educate itself about
communicating without projecting this implicit cultural and class bias
so blatantly.
I tend to use formal style when I speak on behalf of the Code of Conduct
committee. I would label it as very formal bordering on pedantic.
Would you prefer less formal style in the CoC communication?
I am open to educating myself.
thanks,
-- Shuah
