Re: GNU Kind Communication Guidelines versus "social contract" or Codes

Hello,

starting with the subject of your message, it conflates two completely
unrelated concepts: a social contract, which is a "mission statement" and
statement of the general principles of an organisation, as well with respect
to the inner workings as well as an engagement to the outer world; and a code
of conduct, that gives rules about expected behaviour in a given context
(conference attendance, mailing list postings, and so on), as well as a
procedure that can be followed if the rules are broken.

If you start by equating two unrelated concepts, nothing useful can come
out of a discussion.

Andreas
