Jul 19, 2018 at 11:52 comment added Mike - SMT @KevinB No I think it will be visible. There are smaller groups within Stack Exchange. Look at the Tkinter group of people who answer Tkinter questions. It is normal the same dozen people and if we start to lose them due to this then we have lost most of the active knowledgeable users on Tkinter. I would say there are sever small groups of people within specific tags and the same will happen within those spaces as well.
Jul 18, 2018 at 20:00 comment added Kevin B The big difference WRT comments is that losing people here will be far less visible; there's always more users to leave comments and answer questions. With chat on the other hand, it's a much smaller community that grows at a far slower rate, so the impact felt far greater even though we really only lost maybe 3 active users, the rest just stopped discussing things there.
Jul 18, 2018 at 19:53 comment added Mike - SMT @KevinB Thanks for the info. I am reading it now. Good to know that there is already evidence of just the thing I (and others) are concerned about.
Jul 18, 2018 at 19:51 comment added Kevin B Agreed, just pointing out that there was such a discussion regarding rule lawyering and it resulting in people just not participating anymore.
Jul 18, 2018 at 19:49 comment added Mike - SMT @KevinB good to know and I will go look at it. It is in a separate Q/A and this is part of the discussion on this specific portion of the CoC proposal. So I would argue that this should be discussed in context of this CoC proposal and not part of a separate Q/A post.
Jul 18, 2018 at 19:45 comment added Kevin B This has played out in chat and resulted in a pretty lengthy conversation about it if you want to read through it. meta.stackexchange.com/questions/309645/… and... "It will get so bad due to the complaints of trolls or those who are offended by the drop of a hat that most users will no longer wish to comment, ask questions or even answer them in fear of being labeled as hate speech or unwelcome." has already occurred there.
Jul 18, 2018 at 13:10 comment added Mike - SMT I was looking to have a conversation on this topic but no one seams to want to comment. As of the time of this comment I got 7 up votes and 2 down votes so far. That tells me that some agree and some don't. I would like to know others thoughts on this as I feel it is one of the most important section of this CoC and will have the biggest impact.

Active reading - "news", etc. are not proper nouns.

I discriminate against the use of code formating for things that aren't code.
