You're right.  We *should* be grown-ups and not have to have
"proper social behavior dictated to us", but that hasn't worked
recently.  No one is talking about turning TriLUG into a police
state.  The suggestion is simply that we grow up.  And, since
we can't seem to do it on our own, here's a policy.

I disagree that this is simply to keep people of unsubscribing.  The
code of conduct is meant to apply to all interactions within TriLUG.
