Looking for feedback on Fedora Code of Conduct Draft

[Christoph Wickert]

First of all I't like to thank everybody who has been working in the
Code of Conduct. What I've seen looks good so far, however I have two
questions.

Wat about the people who do not work in Fedora voluntarily but because
they are paid? Do we set different moral standards for them?

We are spending a lot of words on personal attacks and such, but I think
there are other ways of poor behavior: What about ignoring people or
their work? This isn't excellent ether and will not make us a productive
community ether.

Combining these two questions I'd like to add something: If you are in
control of people or their work, whether it is because you are elected,
appointed or employed or you just happen to do work that is
fundamentally important for others, you have a special responsibility
for others. Deal with their issues in time. Make decisions based on
facts and not your assumptions. If you have questions, don't be afraid
to ask. Please make sure that all your decisions are not only right for
you but also healthy for our community.

Regards,
Christoph
