[TriLUG] Code of Conduct

[Allen Freeman]

>From a detached third party standpoint it appears the document in question IS inevitable. Despite vigorous denouncement of the entire concept by a number of people, the principals behind this document haven't blinked once and continue to flog editing verbiage as the sole method of dispute arbitration. The general refusal to address the various well-thought-out comments that call into question why such a document is even necessary have been met with glib doubletalk, or (most disturbingly) have been ignored wholesale. For myself I don't have any particular investment in the LUG so I'll be sitting on the sidelines chuckling regardless of how this pans out. I do think this is a prime opportunity for folks to stop and contemplate the relationship between Policy and Bureaucracy, the nature thereof, and ask the simple question: how do we (members or otherwise) benefit from any of this?

But again (and again and again and again and again and again and again and
again and again and again and again and) why do we NEED a CoC?

If you are ok with a "toothless" CoC then what is your justification for a
CoC at all?  I'm still unclear on this.  Your responses make this CoC seem
as inevitable as death and taxes, so to speak.
