        If that business is publicly bringing the project into
          disrepute, or harassing other community members and they
          approach us about it, then it becomes our business.
        
          
                        If it's unrelated to PostgreSQL, then it's your
                        personal business and not something the project
                        would get involved in.

                      
                 O.k. so this isn't clear (at least to me) within
                the CoC. I want to make sure I understand. You are
                saying that if a community member posts on Twitter that
                they believe gays are going to hell, reporting that to
                the CoC committee would result in a non-violation UNLESS
                they referenced postgresql within the post?
            
            
            Yes, I believe so. Isn't that what "To
                that end, we have established this Code
                of Conduct for community interaction and participation
                in the project’s work and the community at large." basically
              says?
          
        
    Honestly, no. At least not to me especially when you consider the
    sentence right after that, "This Code is meant to cover all
    interaction between community members, whether or not it takes place
    within postgresql.org infrastructure, so long as there is not
    another Code of Conduct that takes precedence (such as a
    conference's Code of Conduct)."

    
    Based on your clarification, I am feeling better but the language
    doesn't read that way to me. 

    
    I wish this was easier but have we considered that all channels that
    we would be concerned with already have CoC's and therefore our CoC
    is fairly powerless? Sure they call them Terms of Use but that's
    what they are, Code of Conducts.

    
    Thanks,
