How would you feel about the original thread that started this.

I'm not interested in opal, and don't have time to read a thread
with (when I looked) 374 messages, but if the gist of it is that
they have a code of conduct that attempts to control the speech or
actions of contributors outside of the venue of the lists or events
of the project, count me as -1, regardless of how offensive I might
find said speech or actions.

I didn't look at this one either, but I looked at the "contributor
covenant" Regina linked to earlier (as an example of what not to do) and
was shocked to see that any random outsider can *demand* a project admin
to take action on harassment accusations, or have *the admin* be removed
from the project.  I found that totally backwards and I'd certainly be
against anything that contains such language.

You would never get me on board with that either. To iterate my thoughts around a CoC are exactly this:

""" 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. """

Announcing "I'm offended" is basically telling the world you can't
control your own emotions, so everyone else should do it for you.
