Please dont make it go that far, from my short experience around here
this topic comes up every time something offensive is said on planet.

Its already very hard on all of us because alot of us have strong feelings
about this subject.

If we push it to a vote, sounds like a sure recipe to kick out the losing
half of the bet, I think we should value more our potential to work as
a team and deal with each others differences somehow specifically
on this point, rather than risking pushing half of us away because
of some silly consolidation of a policy.

Alternative proposal: lets deal with the problem at hand and get our
story straight about what is planet.gnome.org, what can be posted
there (i.e. no porn and vulgar language etc.) and how we can help
to enforce a reasonably exact policy on an exact resource which
is planet.gnome.org.

Cheers,
