Jul 26, 2018 at 16:36 comment added John Bollinger I agree that this example is poor, but I think it's because instead of the "unfriendly" and "friendly" options presenting alternative wording for the same idea, the two are intended to be fundamentally different responses. And that's not wrong in itself, either, but it doesn't fit with the other examples presented.

Jul 23, 2018 at 17:40 comment added user390407 @Draco18s I think you're confusing improvement for meeting standards. It's better, but it's not where it needs to be. Stack Overflow has a real problem with high reputation users running rough-shot on low rep users. This isn't going to help that problem, and that's basically the cause of Stack Overflow being so unwelcoming. This is another place that SO is not capitalizing on achieving their goals with this entire campaign.
Jul 23, 2018 at 15:59 comment added Draco18s no longer trusts SE Yes, it is, but it's better than it was before. Speaking on this example line in particular, I took objection to it in a different way.
Jul 23, 2018 at 13:45 comment added user390407 It's still possible for that.
Jul 20, 2018 at 23:37 comment added Draco18s no longer trusts SE My explanation is that the previous draft Code of Conduct was poor because it is possible for two people to interpret the same phrase in different ways. Your post here takes a phrase and misinterprets it really badly ("bad" in this context meaning "not friendly"). The misinterpretation is likely the reason for any downvotes (the answer was at -1 when I made my comment).
Jul 20, 2018 at 21:57 comment added user390407 @Draco18s I'm sorry I don't understand what you're saying. Could you rephrase your explanation?
Jul 20, 2018 at 21:54 comment added Draco18s no longer trusts SE The downvote(s) are going to be along the rational of "your interpretation is wrong." And that has to do with the fact that it is...and exactly why the previous CoC document was bad. So, thanks!
