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:

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.

Hah, I knew you were still around here somewhere, Karavatskhelia :D You're as predictable as clockwork and not even half as useful.
Real men (yes, I know the irony of a lesbian saying this...) are not afraid of women who are their equal. If anything I would expect a man with that high an opinion of himself to WANT an Amazon with a genius-level IQ, as she would be worthy of him.
You, of course, are terrified, absolutely TERRIFIED, by the power of the poonani, so you can only function with a much smaller and weaker partner. Sad, really.
I am "that girl" your mother warned you about...

Sounds wonderful. A cute female child. And not a partner; a subordinate.
As the God spoken of in the book of Deuteronomy intended.

You couldn't handle an Amazon woman for precisely the reasons you put forward, you coward. Hide behind your sky wizard. Maybe you want a little girl because you are nothing but a little boy.

Yep, don't want to handle no heifers

Many are so cute.
>because you are nothing but a little boy.
Doesn't bother me. Keep making money for your boss.
