Jul 26, 2018 at 15:45 comment added Mark Olson @joriki I understand your issues, and I once shared them. But after 30 years of trying to define human relationships precisely -- why 30? Because I'm dense. I should have figured it out sooner! -- I concluded that we must either write a code of laws and create a judiciary and the whole apparatus of state or describe what we want so that reasonable people can improve their behavior and simply not accept rules lawyering from the the rest. Ultimately, we stand or fall based on the quality of the moderation and the sense of community we create or fail to create.
Jul 26, 2018 at 15:29 comment added joriki "Yes, we would be comfortable." Who's "we"? That statement exemplifies the tragedy of this code. It sets a particular way of not making people uncomfortable above all else and ignores the fact that in doing so it makes people uncomfortable. I'm not part of the "we" you're speaking of. Incidentally, as I'm writing this, there's an answer right below yours (with the same number of upvotes) that starts with "I'm still not comfortable".
