No it isn't? It's unchanged in the linked PR.


"Also changed yesterday"

The line about protected classes is not in addition to a general rule against harassment, or emphasizing that kind of harassment in particular, it replaced that rule.

There is a separate rule against personal attacks, but is that rule supposed to take over harassment in general? That sort of makes sense in a vacuum, but then it leaves the exact meaning of the 'harassment against protected classes' rule kind of confusing. What does harassing a class mean exactly, and can you harass a non-protected class?


It was removed in a follow-up PR, "Remove abuse enabling language pt. 2", which is linked to from the first:

> Encouraged by the quick success of this PR, I made #2691 with another small change. One step at a time at fixing the world :)

Ah, well, but remember... intent doesn't matter...
