Hello,
I will reply once more, but it may be the last time in this thread. Please,
Alexandre and others, if you wish to contribute, stop rambling and come to
the point, and actually try to stick to a point that is raised and avoid
going off on lengthy tangents that I (and probably others) have no time
to read.
Let me quote once more the paragraph that we are supposedly discussing:
> * GNU welcomes contributions from all and everyone
> We want to give everyone the opportunity to contribute to our efforts
> on any of the many tasks that require work. We welcome all contributors,
> regardless of their gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, level of
> experience, or any other personal characteristics. We commit to providing
> a harassment-free experience for all our contributors.
Your contribution to this topic contains the following:

How on earth do you end up associating "we welcome contributors" with
"censorship", "exclusion", "banning", "feminism" or "feminism-agnosticism"?
Notice that the social contract is a statement of principles. Clearly if
we want to provide a harassment-free environment, some procedure will have
to be decided at some point in time in case harassment occurs; but this is
not the goal of this document.
Of course you are free to send your stream of consciousness to this list,
but if you wish to have an impact on the topic at hand, I would suggest to
make concrete suggestions on wording, or paragraphs to remove or to add.
Andreas
