Re: The tone of discussion on this list



So just to clarify your stance is that stating historically factual statements about human rights violations in a country where the project has decided to whole an event and where people of specific faiths and ethnicity will be excluded is off limits? Because that’s what your quoted statement was addressing.

I just want to be clear so others know they cannot publicly criticize the project for these reasons which are all factual.

Also can you refer to any project policy or rule that’s documented publicly that prohibits this? You state that such is not allowed is that a rule you made up on the fly or is it documented somewhere?

No, this is something that can't be pressed in a proper definition. But if
people think that sentences like:

"Either way this ignores the fact that Israel has been murdering Muslims for
countless years and the state of Israel sits on occupied Palestinian land.
Debian having a conference in contestedland where military conflict and
oppressive acts are occurring is unacceptable."
(Just one example).


are acceptable on our lists they are wrong. We can of course now start
constructing sentences like those for muslims, hindus or whatever ethnical
group. But I don't want to see someone going that route.

So we either discuss in a constructive way or we should stop that discussion
now.

Alex
