There was no such change. Here is the diff: -keep this list hospitable to the growing ranks of newbies, very young people, and their teachers, as well as cater to fire breathing wizards. :-) +keep this list hospitable and safe for everyone.

- When interpreting the words and actions of others, participants should always assume good intentions. +Participants should speak and act with good intentions, but understand that intent and impact are not equivalent.

The changes were made in response to sexist comments on the mailing list; they had nothing to do with "opposing views".



There is a second PR that was merged: https://github.com/ruby/www.ruby-lang.org/pull/2691

This has to be a joke right? We're now at a point where the rules clearly say you can be harassed if you're not a protected class?


Yes, it's a joke. Or at least the person who submitted that (hmdne) is clearly trolling (you can tell from their comments in the original thread).

But the PR was still accepted in any case, so it looks like it went over the heads of the trollees.
