| Apr 6, 2013 at 2:37 | comment | added | user25656 | * I don't think you're adhering to the FAQ too strongly; I think you're wrong about what it means. * This is the point. My position here, and I may come off as arrogant, is this: If I'm misinterpreting the FAQ, the FAQ should be rewritten. IMO, there should be as little scope for different people interpreting things differently. Otherwise, we're down the rabbit-hole. | |
| Apr 5, 2013 at 18:46 | comment | added | Eliah Kagan | @vasa1 I don't think anything I'm arguing for goes against the letter of the FAQ at all. I could stipulate to perpetual, iron-clad obedience to the FAQ no-matter-what, and I think my position would still hold just fine. I am not saying that we need even to bend the FAQ a little bit to allow either of the questions discussed here. I don't think you're adhering to the FAQ too strongly; I think you're wrong about what it means. When I said "The CoC doesn't require..." I was specifically addressing something that had been suggested about the CoC, not trying to aggrandize for my position. | |

| Apr 4, 2013 at 21:55 | comment | added | Eliah Kagan | Are you arguing that when a question can reasonably be construed as not too broad, that this should be the reigning interpretation and it should not be closed? I'd agree with that. But, like @Seth, I'm not totally sure what you're saying here. To address one thing at the end of your post: The Ubuntu Code of Conduct does have a section that talks about how it's good to ask questions--though that does not mean we can never close a question on Ask Ubuntu. The CoC doesn't require anyone to value iron-clad adherence to the letter of any document over advancing the project or helping others. | |
| Apr 4, 2013 at 17:45 | comment | added | geezanansa | As this is a "what do you think...?" type question I guess the intention was to add what i think about "What makes a question too broadly scoped for askubuntu?" ...just trying to say what i mean and mean what i say -without hinting or suggesting there may be additional things i can not post"..."x2 | |
