Hi Lydia

Thanks for chiming in.

Note I asked about malicious request to the CWG, not legitimate ones. I mean 
baseless accusations, based on no actual fact, just attempts to smear someone 
or generate useless expediture of people's time. Has that happened, at all? If 
so, how long did the committee spend addressing it? How much effort was put 
into it?

Maybe we can also expand to accusations that, though not malicious, were found 
not to be under the CoC's purview, like asking someone to be removed due to 
some action on their personal time.

You must remember we discussion we had in KDE 10 years ago. As I wrote in my 
email here, I was one of those not convinced of the need to have a text at 
all, and I do think several other proeminent community members were like me. 
But the discussion went through and we were won out. Now I see the value of it 
that I didn't then.

Almost all the emails in this thread have been civil and willing to engage in 
discussion, though not without some language barriers sometimes. I'm not 
seeing anyone in a different light as I did a week ago.
