My messages were ignored all along. I cannot prove that any more, so it is just a claim as how I remember it from back then. I do not have the logs any more. But I was shocked that time since I think a woman should definitely, as one of the minorities, be allowed to say sth about CoC. I have no record of any messages from you (aside from the above) about the CoC during its drafting or subsequently, so if I missed some I apologise. I can assure you I did do my level best to listen to all the discussion, and answer most messages directly. There was - at least on my part - no intent to disallow anyone from expressing any opinions. Not all opinions ended up reflected in the document, but I did try to thread the line between often contradictory opinions. If there's a single thing I've learned about these things, it's that nobody is happy with any particular Code of Conduct - some are unhappy with the very concept. As for approval, I drafted the CoC but didn't have direct participation in approving it either; that's done by the Board, and the Board is voted in by the membership, so you've had the same input I have.
