Of that I am absolutely certain :) You see, a year or three back a certain Code of Conduct or "CoC" was instituted with "the Debian community". And further, a certain self foresaw certain (to his self) self evident problems with this newly minted and well intentioned if grandiose and subtly yet fundamentally problematic community polemic undoubtedly soon to <ahem> expose itself. And further yet, this certain self took it upon his certain self to be certain in his ultimately self deprecating, yet cheeky (if persistent) "in your FACE, Debian!" type of tantrum about this newly minted Rule Of Authority, otherwise swung around the place as a Code of Conduct, "Official" no less :) Such swinging of sarcastic sultry parodies in fractally self referential factual and entirely blunt alludings to double entendrés between the lines overloading the sugar spoiled cotton wool generations in the name of the glorious, glorious authority of the CoC, for some strange and almost unfathomable reason, utterly failed to go unnoticed, especially when such tendrés hit the -project list as well. Make no mistake, there was no mistake to ensure no mistakes in comprehension of the fractually parodic irony at stake for all future generations of Debianistas :) And so, further further yet, one slightly sad yet admittedly belligerently ironic and in-your-face parodic poster, was thereafter and thereby banned (and truly, somewhat predictably) from this here very list! And further still from all other glorious Debian lists :,( Fear not dear empath - no tears were shed, instead shed were temerity, uncertainty, fear and dread! And so, bold and justified, sure in the truth of the self-parody and petty tyranny thereby exposed for the world to see, this certain self cackled as a hyena might, on into the night, with delight :D Yes, you heard that's right, the Debian CoC reared its authoritarian head in the face of my raising the very issue that it might be swung in our faces and ultimately be somewhat detrimental to our community. So careful there, my tentative cotton-wool busting friends, your friendly order in the Debian realm may not quite as it seems in the face of wild swinging humour parties. Words! Words I tell you - powerful, mighty words they are, have no doubt. Speak. Speak your truth. Speak it clearly and boldly and with ne'er an apology. Then be silent. Let the world digest your words and continue quietly to make it a better place, and all shall be well in your heart.
