Hi Brian, We deliberately don't want it too wordy, otherwise it would turn into something more like a terms of service. It is more a guideline so we can have civil discourse without risk of person attack. With that in mind we would be open to suggestions over a different word or few words instead of "inflammatory". A lot of it depends on the use of the language too. You can still have passionate views whilst aligning with the Bill & Ted mantra of "be excellent to each other" :) Kind Regards Andrew On 21/12/2022 21:01, Brian Andrus wrote:
Generally a good idea. It can be abused if not careful, due to the subjective nature of determining what is offensive or "inflammatory".
I would suggest that "inflammatory language" be something that be more defined and/or allowed toward things but not people (if that is possible). One could look at the original source code to Linux before it was 'sanitized' of the colorful language to see some passionate views. Much opinion expression will be inflammatory to someone (such as my opinion of Apple or Microsoft).
