I have to say that this seems like a red herring to me. 1. The CoC committee handles actual incidents involving real people. It's not their job to boil the ocean and create a new world; they deal with the matters brought before them. I have no reason to believe that they will not apply good sense and judgement to the handling of the specific cases. 2. I don't think that there is a country where someone being driven out of a technical community by harassment is an acceptable local value. 3. The only actual real-life example of a culture clash that I've seen offered up here is the ability to say "c*nt" on a technical mailing list about databases. That seems a very strange and specific hill to choose to die on in this discussion. -- -- Christophe Pettus xof@xxxxxxxxxxxx
