        .@BoingBoing or for the TL;DR inclined, to quote the inimitable @wilw: "Don't Be A Dick"

        .@llance @BoingBoing "Don't be a dick" only works if everyone agrees what being a dick means. In lieu of that, we need explicit policies.

        @leftoblique @BoingBoing The trouble with explicit policies is, they are never sufficiently exhaustive.

        @llance @BoingBoing sure I suppose in the formal logic sense but we can at least name bad behaviors and protected classes of people.

        @llance @BoingBoing also I'm not convinced that a policy can't be exhaustive enough for the practical purpose of creating a safe con space.

        @leftoblique @BoingBoing It may define a safe space, but create one? Doubtful. The people it's aimed at probably don't understand it.

        @llance @BoingBoing which is why you define, in plain English, what is and is not acceptable. Which they've done.

        @BoingBoing This is both very good and very sad. What I used to tell my kids about the playground: you need to look out for others.
