I’ve been talking to a couple of people about whether it would be<br>
useful to have an explicit Haskell Community Code of Conduct. Many<br>
online communities have one (e.g. Rust), and it might be helpful for<br>
everyone to have a concrete baseline rather than an unwritten<br>
standard. Any views on that?<br>

I think these Code of Conducts make things even worse because then some<br>
people start to check every word against these codes. Instead I suggest<br>
we make more use of humor. E.g. Carter Schonwald's comment about grumpy<br>
people made me think about renaming my prelude-compat package to<br>
grumpy-prelude. :-)<br>

I agree with Henning. The discussion gets heated because people are passionate about Haskell; and the latter is a good thing.<br>
<br>
I rather stomach some insults on a mailing list than having a formal code of conduct. Severe violations of politeness can be pointed out without having such a formal code. We can apply common sense.<font color="#888888"><br>
