For quite a few years, I was a member of a hackerspace in DC.

In 2012 or 2013, we voted to institute a code of conduct. It passed handily, 2/3 to 1/3.

That last third pitched a fit in the meeting, resigned, threw their keys on the table, and walked out. That was maybe 30 people

The rest of us threw a party after the door slammed.

Let's talk about characters and relation to their creators for a second.

A lot of us love to be really flirty and lewd among our characters and it's a whole lot of fun. But access to a character like that does not necessitate access to the creator like that.

I abhor the rationale, when called out for a violation of this, "your character does that, you were asking for it." Fuuuuck that noise.

Respect boundaries. If you don't know them, ask.

The crazy thing about CSV files, commas are likely to be used in stuff you'd want to put in a CSV file.

"But Fluff," you say, "people already deal with that. Use colons or bar characters or tabs."

Well yes. People do that. But did you know ASCII (which now forms the first tiny chunk of unicode) has built in separator characters? ASCII 28 through 31; file, group, record, and unit separators. CSV was a mistake.

Thus ends another episode of Fluffpinions.
