I don't think we are. We're arguing protocol, process, and punishment
before agreeing on rights and responsibilities. I suggest we agree on first
principles. Submitted for consideration:

*(I) You are a contributor to, and representative of, PHP if you:*

   - Join any of the PHP communication channels (mailing lists, IRC
   channels, Twitter feeds, or Facebook group) and start or reply to a
   conversation.
   - Post comments on php.net or bug/feature requests on bugs.php.net.
   - Submit comments, issues, or patches to PHP or its extensions through
   Github.
   - Attend any conference authorized to use the PHP logo.

*(II) As a contributor to PHP, you have the right to:*

   - Participate in conversations
   - Present your thoughts
   - Submit changes to PHP, its extensions, and documentation
   - Walk away (both in person and digitally)

*(III) As a representative of PHP, you are responsible for:*

   - Your behavior:
      - Actively listen
      <http://www.skillsyouneed.com/ips/active-listening.html> to those who
      are speaking
      - Affirm what you hear
      - Remain calm (strive for equanimity
      <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equanimity>)
      - Keep your voice down. NO CAPS.
      - Hands off. Ask before entering personal space
      <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proxemics#Personal_space>.
   - Your words:
      - Be understanding: everyone's perspective is different
      - Be polite
      <http://www.londonschool.com/language-talk/language-tips/5-tips-for-polite-and-diplomatic-language/>
      - Be concise
      <https://oilpatchwriting.wordpress.com/2011/04/14/the-five-cs-of-writing-%E2%80%93-part-3-conciseness/>
      - Discuss the position, not the person
      <http://www.nizkor.org/features/fallacies/ad-hominem.html>
   - Your submissions:
      - Adhere to submission guidelines
      - Timely respond to inquiries about your submissions

We're all diplomats to our arguments. Skillful communication and tact goes
a long way toward effective collaboration. If we can't agree what's
respectful communication, we're not going to collaborate.

Cheers,
bishop
