So that when evaluating which communities they might want to be involved in, they have some confidence that this one might be compatible with their comfort/needs/etc. Also sets expectations better for members of the community (yes, there's still lots of room for good judgment on the part of the community, those who handle CoC issues, etc so that a lawyerly approach to the rules doesn't actually get you very far) so people are less likely to be caught by surprise. Not impossible, but to reduce the chance. - Dave> > cheers, > --renato > _______________________________________________ > LLVM Developers mailing list > llvm-dev at lists.llvm.org > http://lists.llvm.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/llvm-dev >-------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

We were talking specifically about the "external media" clause. --renato

We were talking specifically about the > "external media" clause.I don't know if this has already been answered in the current thread or the previous discussion of an llvm CoC, but: What is the intended resolution of an issue like: https://github.com/opal/opal/issues/941 where, IIUC, someone from the community makes politically incorrect/unpopular statements outside of the community on so-called "external media" (without attacking or harassing anyone in particular), but keeps his/her direct interactions with the community on topic, engineering related, and non-discriminatory?
