Meanwhile the community is having a big debate over the CoC, deciding what exact wording they should use to say "be nice and include everyone".



Why just communities be forced to accept everyone? Or even be nice? When in a group of friends we can often times not “be nice” however because we know each other, we understand it comes from a place of love. Perhaps it’s a military background thing, but exclusivity has its benefits.


Because we're not friends.

Why are you immediately assuming racism?


Maybe I'm misreading what he is getting at. Is it more of a politeness is bad thing?


I'm trying to point out the hypocrisy of a cultural impetus to be super inclusive towards everyone, except the people you disagree with


Because opinion is transient and can be changed on a whim, unless what is part of the identity of the person (physical apparence, religion and other cor values). Being exclusive only reduce cohesiveness.
