| It's not sanely possible to enumerate all the possibilities
Not looking for that.  Looking to avoid being trolled.  ("Trolled"
isn't the right word here but I've lost track of what the right one is.
Hopefully my intent is clear enough.)

| I guess one could write "In addition, violations of this code outside
these spaces may, in rare
cases, affect a person's ability to participate within them, when the
conduct amounts to an egregious violation of the communitie's social
standard."

If that's what it means, is there a problem with writing it that way?

| But it's not, in practice, any different.
I concede it's not any different to a lawyer, which I know you are; most of
us are not lawyers.  Again, if it's not any different, is there a problem
with writing it in a way that provides clarity to the non-lawyer population?
Thanks,

Code of Conduct

That's just a residual clause.
It's not sanely possible to enumerate all the possibilities here (IE if you
stalk and murder someone in the llvm community, you are going to get kicked out
of the community, regardless of if you did it in a controlled space)
I mean, i'm subject to legal ethics rules that are very similar, and those
could get me kicked out of an entire profession :)

I guess one could write "In addition, violations of this code outside these
spaces may, in rare

conduct amounts to an egregious violation of the communitie's social
standard."

But it's not, in practice, any different.

Basically, if you are looking for complete and total bright line proscribed
standards, they pretty much don't exist anywhere except in criminal statutes
:)

I expect Rafael's concern is because the code also says:

In addition, violations of this code outside these spaces may, in rare

So it can apply outside spaces explicitly sponsored by LLVM, in undefined
circumstances.

I am strongly opposed to it as it stands.

Who decided this and with what authority? As written the code of
conduct tries restrict the acceptable opinions one may voice even in
channels not related to llvm at all.
errr, it says:
"This code of conduct applies to all spaces managed by the LLVM project or
The
LLVM Foundation. This includes IRC channels, mailing lists, bug trackers, LLVM
vents such as the developer meetings and socials, and any other forums created
by the project that the community uses for communication. "


How does this cover channels not related to llvm?

With this in place I will not consider myself a member of the llvm
community anymore and would be terrified to interact with another llvm
developer in a social setting.

That would be sad, but i guess i'm not sure what is causing that. Is it that
there is discretion in there that you are afraid may apply to you if taken to
some extreme?
