The part about "when you disagree, consult others". I'm not sure the only 
choices are either come back into the fold or start a new sig or group. I 
think "agreeing to disagree" is valid. You like Emacs, I like Vim. You like 
KDE, I like Icewm. You like GNU brace placement, and I like Whitesmith. You 
think we should prioritize newbies, I think we should prioritize ubergeeks.

I think a hallmark of a functional LUG is the ability to handle differences of 
opinion with grace and good humor, and I think such handling of differences 
is better and creates a richer LUG than unanimity born of obligation.

I liked the rest of the code of conduct.
