Responses Re: A motion
List pgsql-general
Although it has been previously disregarded, I would like to second the motion that all further discussion regarding the CoC go to it's own list.

Consider this.
1. The Coc will eventually apply to ALL PostgreSQL mail lists.
2. There will be a need to have additions and revisions to the Coc.
3. As this list is for General (and mostly technical discussions) further discussions/emails concerning the CoC only distracts from the purpose of this email list.

While I personally feel that a code of conduct does not need to be an explicit
document and is something that "happens" through the way people on the lists
behave and the way the core team and list maintainers handle problems,
pgsql-general is where the community meets, and that is where such a discussion
should take place.

To a degree you have a very valid point - however wading through a discussion over nuanced verbiage isn't of value to me (and at least a few others).    This discussion will not garner a visible opinion from the vast majority of those who read this list, and most likely, the vast majority of those on this list don't really care about the discussion at all other than not wanting the Postgres *community* to self-destruct, starve, or be torn apart by wolves.

From direct personal experience, separating "how to run a group" from "the topic" of the group improves at least the "topic" portion and those who actually want to participate will follow wherever the "how" moves to.

I do appreciate this community, and "everyone's" declared desire to maintain it's quality  a great deal - so I've piped up to add weight to the request for a respite from the details... I'll deal with the noise... by skipping it.  Adrian - a contributor.. apparently by leaving (at least temporarily).
