them here.

Another huge problem with ethical rules is that you need to outline

and enforce sanctions on thos who violate the rules. But since I am

not an elected authority how would I be able to do this? I don't

Last but not least there's the law. I am a german citizen and am

living in relatively freedom. Unlike many other people living in
|
||||
democracies these days, I myself fought for this very freedom on the
|
||||
streets of Leipzig in 1989. I saw the tanks, the Stasi officers, I
|
||||
felt the fear. But the laws under I live today and which I have to
|
||||
adhere to, are only limited to the small speck on earth I am living on.
|
||||
|
||||
So, let's say someone in india says something insulting to some other
|
||||
developer in an issue. Of course german law does not apply to indian
|
||||
people. More, the insult might actually not be an insult in india. In
|
||||
the end, nothing would happen. Under normal circumstances, maintainers
|

would delete the posting, ban the user or remove push privileges etc.
