[TriLUG] Code of Conduct

[Warren Myers]

Right, and so when said disagreements happen, delete the message, or take it
to the person individually. This isn't complicated.

And, unless something is horribly wrong in my parsing of the CoC: "When you
disagree, consult others. Disagreements, both political and technical,
happen all the time and the TriLUG community is no exception. The important
goal is not to avoid disagreements or differing views but to resolve them
constructively. You should turn to the community and to the community
process to seek advice and to resolve disagreements." - it sounds like
differences of opinion mostly.

Differences of opinions are what makes a horse race, and it's what makes an
interesting community.. generally.

If this is something that *does* become codified, I'd probably leave because
if, as [relatively] responsible adults we can't either a) ignore people we
don't like, or b) talk to them directly... the CoC isn't going to do
anything constructive.

Based on the general responses I've seen just in the past couple hours, I'm
pretty sure I'm not alone in my dislike of trying to put up a CoC, and that
there seem to be a bunch of other people on here who, like myself, *can* hit
the delete button.
