Subject: Re: [PHP-DEV] [RFC] [Draft] Adopt Code of Conduct

It's interesting to note how few people in this thread consider the
perspective of potential harassed or abused people - instead only focusing
on how to protect the accused.

Quick check: how many times in the history of PHP has someone been called
out, wrongly, for being abusive or harassing others? If, as seems to the
argument ("we're such a great and tolerant community, we don't need this"),
this hasn't happened - what's with the paranoia behind assuming it will
suddenly happen constantly and that people will be banned left and right
for no reason?

Also, it was my understanding that RFCs need a "cool-down" period before
voting is allowed. Even in the most clearcut case where someone is being a
complete asshole, you're then either allowing them to continue the
harassment or ignoring your own point. It's hard to see how either option
benefits PHP, let alone the abused person.

Regards
Peter
