Friendly Harassment-Free Space
We are committed to providing a friendly, safe and welcoming environment for all,
regardless of gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, ethnicity,
religion, age, physical appearance, body size, race, or similar personal
characteristics.We ask that you please respect that people have differences of
opinion regarding technical choices, and that every design or implementation
choice carries a trade-off and numerous costs. There is seldom a single right
answer. A difference of technology preferences is not a license to be rude.{" "}
Any spamming, trolling, flaming, baiting, or other attention-stealing behavior is
not welcome, and will not be tolerated. Harassing other users is never tolerated,
whether via public or private media. Avoid using offensive or harassing nicknames,
or other identifiers that might detract from a friendly, safe, and welcoming
environment for all.{" "}
