Last week, Phoronix broke a story about the kernel DRM group over at FreeDesktop.org submitting a pull request for their code of conduct to be included in the kernel docs for the DRM subsystem. The next day it was merged.

I'm particularly interested in if they think this will keep Linus from saying hurtful things to them over lousy code. Discuss.

    Anyway, my point is you are dealing with people who are deranged hypocritical sociopaths

    Sure, google-fu on cluster-b's reveals:

    • antisocial: 3 - 5%
    • narcissistic: ~1%
    • borderline: 2 - 6%
    • histrionic: 2 - 3%

    Variations are due to study sizes, estimates (aspd individuals are rarely diagnosed) and the fact that many of these diagnosed with one of these disorders will often present with comorbidity of others.

    Emotional manipulation, pathological lying and psychological projection (victim playing) are the tell-tale signs of the dramatic personality disorders. At least 10% of the general population have one or more of these disorders and they are experts at the tools of their trade. We tell them to fuck off, we do not give them a set of rules by which they can frame innocent people. Direct communication is the best communication, do not let them triangulate. [wikipedia.org]

    The ability to say "your code is shit" is a perfectly valid criticism after a few substandard patches. Managers must in fact be free to say this on open source projects.
