For someone who's promoting 'ubuntu' like conduct, your choice of words
is rather Patriot Act-ish. If this two-facedness reflects the intentions
of people behind this semi-civilized means of minority-control, I'll
pass on it.

The wording of certain phrases in this 'code of conduct' is really
dubious : specific enough to be used for any purpose and vague enough to
hold none of those in control responsible. Take for example the
'Repeated disruptive behaviors..' paragraph.

If you really want to make a serious attempt at a code of conduct, you
keep it simple, you keep it clean. You let the community decide on
contents and don't mix rules with punishments in one and the same
document. If you guys really had understood the Ubuntu contract you
would've never dropped this 'constitution' on -dev like this, especially
not at this time (you know what I mean).
