Well, I signed up for #chicom8 and am planning on attending all days.
A line in the code of conduct struck me as odd:
"If someone tells you no or asks you to leave them alone, you are expected to cease your interaction"
Of course, makes perfect sense. Followed by:
Because people may feel uncomfortable saying no or asking you to leave them alone, the absence of no is not sufficient to assume consent
?? How will I know? I should talk to no one, in case?
@RileyNorman If they use their teacher/librarian/mom glare (you know the one), you'll know.
But seriously, one wonders.
@bloodravenlib Perhaps they are trying to avoid people having to specifically call out things that offend them and leave room for exactly that.
I realize I'm nitpicking too. Perhaps my specificity obsession is taking hold ;)
@RileyNorman Well, to an extent one does wonder because unless you read minds, and they do not at least signal somehow, one can't know. One should not be expected to guess (I would think but then again, in these times, who knows).
@bloodravenlib My brain would have an easier time processing "We reserve the right to kick anyone out for any reason whatsoever"
That I can very easily comprehend and subsequently agree with. 🙂
@RileyNorman Yep. That is clear and concise.
