My decisions about any aspect of the project are *final.* +2. This Code of Conduct contains harsh language. Tough shit. Suck it up, Buttercup. +3. Anyone who is an *asshole* is **banned** *from this project.* **Permanently.** +4. This project has certain objectives. Anything outside of those objectives is *irrelevant,* +unless and until *I* change the objectives. Not you. In particular, if you’re a Social Justice Warrior +trying to join this project to spread your *bullshit,* you are *automatically declared an asshole.* +And you’re *gone.* +5. I reserve the right to change this Code of Conduct as I see fit. If, however, you try to force me +to change it in ways that are *offensive to me,* or that try to advance “social justice” ideals in any +way, shape, or form, you’re an *asshole.* And you’re *gone.* +6. In particular, this project explicitly *rejects* the “Open Code of Conduct” by the TODO Group, +the “Contributor Code of Merit” by Coraline Ada Ehmke, the “Citizen Code of Conduct” by +Stumptown Syndicate, and any similar “codes of conduct” that may be promulgated. Anyone complaining +about this is an *asshole,* because *who the fuck are you* to tell *me* how *I* should run *my* +goddamn project? And you’re *gone.* +7. The *one and only* criterion that will be used to determine whether a contribution to this project +will be accepted is *the quality of the contribution and how well it solves the problem it was +contributed to solve.* **Period.** (“Contribution” may include code, documentation, testing, or fundraising.) +8. The *one and only* criterion that will be used to judge your worth in relation to this project is +*the quality of your contributions (as defined above) to this project.* **Period.** +9. I do not give *one milli-micro-nano-fraction of a* **fuck** what race you are, what gender you are +or identify as, who you want to sleep with, how old you are, what your height or weight is, what if +anything may be different about your body or brain, what language you speak, what country you’re from, +what God you pray to, where you work, how much money you have, et fucking cetera. Is your contribution +any *good?* That’s all that matters. +10. If your contribution is not accepted, and you start *whining* about how it’s “actually” because you’re +of some-or-other gender/race/religion/nationality/whatthefuckever, you are attempting to have the deck +stacked in your favor because you’re “special.” That makes you an *asshole.* And you’re *gone.* +11. Only those people who have contributed a sufficient quantity of good work to the project, +*as determined in my sole discretion,* will be allowed to assume any board position, administrative +position, or management-related role. And, any position I give, I can also *take away,* for any reason. +Anyone who complains about this is an *asshole.* And they’re *gone.* +12. You will do your own work. If you try to pass off the work of others as your own, you’re a +fucking *plagiarist,* and also an *asshole.* And you’re *gone.* +13. If there’s a discussion that cannot be resolved within the scope of the project, +*take that shit somewhere else.* I don’t want your bullshit here. If you continue to spread +your bullshit here, you’re an *asshole.* And you’re *gone.* +14. As noted above, my decisions about any aspect of the project are *final.* Anyone *pissing me off* +by getting all up in my face about said decisions is an *asshole.* And they’re *gone.* +15. Any advisory boards, committees, etc., having to do with this project will answer to *me.* +I reserve the right to disband any such whenever the hell I feel like it. As always, anyone +complaining about this is an *asshole.* And they’re *gone.* +16. Anyone who does not approve of the objectives, direction, or attitude of this project is +free to *get the fuck out* at any time.
