Devuan, the once devil-may-care total fork of Debian, once linked to virulent internet sexism and gamer-gate affiliated image forums by Debian Developer Russel Coker, has mulled the option of enacting a Code of Conduct when one of its female members was insulted:

>jaromil jeez. we need to take precautions. and also I get the point from Sarah Mei we need a code of conduct on-line and later for on-site http://www.sarahmei.com/blog/2015/02/01/the-fos...

Devuan has been criticized for taking a "who gives a damn" and "real admins do it all by hand themselves every install" attitude towards security hardening scripts, and despise in particular any mention of the "bastille" linux hardening script (originally funded by Mandrake Linux).
Interestingly when Devuan was forming, the people behind Devuan cited the very person they are considering making the code of conduct against:

>VUA: It will be a governing body that puts the benefits of the users first, not the mystification of a "doacracy" delivering all the power to the package maintainers.
>Originally, Debian was created as a universal operating system for the users. The Free Software movement itself is there to defend users' rights. Sgryphon explains it well in this thread. ( http://www.debianuserforums.org/viewtopic.php?f=63&t=3031 )
>We will likely reproduce the governing body of Debian to follow its original mandate, with the advantage of starting small and more focused, hopefully with less pressure from the interest of commercial developers.

Nah, you're understimating what's going on. This one shitlord offended some special snowflake and the event is being used by manipulative social justice crowd to further their agenda.
SJWs want to institute speech codes in tech circles like they did in universities because that's the first stage of getting a gaggle of fence sitters to side with them over moderation decisions over bullshit infractions. This is one step along the way in replacing the decision makers and ousting any wrongthinking individuals who don't agree with their politics.
This only sounds crazy until you realize that this is how Mozilla was destroyed from within and that SJWs have even planned to target key Open Source community members with false rape/abuse accusations. [ibiblio.org] Political Correctness [youtube.com] is the primary ideological cancer poisoning the west, and esp. STEM. [ibiblio.org] It is a tool used by subversive elements to take control of cultural landscape and is promoted by useful idiots who believe themselves do-gooders when they're really just political pawns.
For the record, I don't hate SJWs, they're just pawns of the Cultural Marxists who are hell bent on causing race and gender wars to bring about societal collapse and then communist revolution. [youtube.com] History hath shewn SJWs are the first against the wall once they succeed in leveraging the bogus "oppressed/oppressor" Marxist rhetoric and agitate sufficient unrest.
That's the big sad picture. Just listen to that KGB defector in the last vid, once you realize the things he said were their goals, and that's what has come to pass thanks to the SJWs then everything starts to make sense. This bullshit culture war sure makes forums annoying, but that's the true nature of this SocJus beast: Sew unrest by pitting Poor against Rich, Men against Women, Gay vs Straight, Black against White, and then the crisis will come. Never should the oppressor help the oppressed -- they can only shut up and apologize and accept the new Codes of Conduct. Never will the grievances of SJWs be appeased because it's really a "Permanent Revolution" meant to divide us so we can be more easily conquered.
TFA is just documenting one small opening and move in the giant game of subversion that's afoot.

You guys need to smoke less weed. It's making you paranoid.

They probably didn't allow the flower to mature enough before harvesting it. Remember, people, check your trichromes before harvest! As Treebeard was fond of saying, “Don't be hasty!”
(Yep, harvesting only a few weeks into the flowering phase does tend to cause the finished product to cause paranoia. Always know who your grower is! Buy only American bud, and help Make America Great Again™! Ok, for all I know, Führer Trump will probably send in the army to shut down states that have legalized. But still, buy American!)

Feminism predates marxism and is a proud product of france and (some decades later) england.

feminism is now a uselessly ambiguous term, it covers (amongst others)
- the view that all sexes should have equal legal rights
- the view that all sexes should have equal outcomes ... even if that requires unequal rights and opportunities
- the view that we should get rid of the male sex alltogether (lookup Society for Cutting Up Men, going back to the scum manifesto from 1967)
