Josh, If we do write a CoC, can we give it a different acronym. I'm going to say something very sensitive here, so don't think I am joking. When I was 5 I was raped by a next door neighbor. Everytime I here people talk about Cocs and how silencing they are I think about that. Thanks, Regina -----Original Message----- From: Joshua D.

Hello, A lot of good discussion has happened on this thread and as a whole I think it has been determined that if done correctly, a CoC would not be a bad idea. Of course we need to write one. A CoC is about providing a safe, respectful, productive, and collaborative place for any person who is willing to contribute in a safe, respectful, productive and collaborative way. A CoC is not about being offended. The act of being offended is purely a recipients response and usually because the recipient is more interested in being a victim than moving forward.
