http://www.ubuntu.com/community/conduct leaves a lot of room for
disagreeing and correcting others. In the past five years we had a lot
disagreements and corrections in discussions and almost all of them
happened in a polite and respectful manner. I will do all I can to keep
it that way.

I can't believe that anybody who takes the time to read our Code of
Conduct believes that it's there to stifle discussion. All it asks for
is a positive atmosphere.

Have a great day,
 Daniel
