# The Erbosoft Project Code of Conduct
## (Revised December 2019)

For the purposes of this project, the Owner is Amy G. Bowersox/Erbosoft Metaverse Design Solutions.

1. *The Owner owns this project.* Not you.  The Owner's decisions about any aspect of the project
are *final.*
2. This Code of Conduct contains harsh language. Tough shit. Suck it up, Buttercup.
3. Anyone who is an *asshole* is **banned** *from this project.* **Permanently.**
4. This project has certain objectives.  Anything outside of those objectives is *irrelevant,*
unless and until the *Owner* changes the objectives. Not you. In particular, if you're a Social
Justice Warrior trying to join this project to spread your *bullshit,* you are *automatically
declared an asshole.* And you're *gone.*
5. The Owner reserves the right to change this Code of Conduct as they see fit.  If, however, you try
to force the Owner to change it in ways that are *offensive to them,* or that try to advance
"social justice" ideals in any way, shape, or form, you're an *asshole.* And you're *gone.*
6. In particular, this project explicitly *rejects* the "Open Code of Conduct" by the TODO Group,
the "Contributor Code of Merit" by Coraline Ada Ehmke, the "Citizen Code of Conduct" by
Stumptown Syndicate, and any similar "codes of conduct" that may be promulgated. Anyone complaining
about this is an *asshole,* because *who the fuck are you* to tell *the Owner* how *they* should
run *their* goddamn project? And you're *gone.*
7. The *one and only* criterion that will be used to determine whether a contribution to this project
will be accepted is *the quality of the contribution and how well it solves the problem it was
contributed to solve.* **Period.** ("Contribution" may include code, documentation, testing, or fundraising.)
8. The *one and only* criterion that will be used to judge your worth in relation to this project is
*the quality of your contributions (as defined above) to this project.* **Period.**
9. The Owner hereby does not give *one milli-micro-nano-fraction of a* **fuck** what race you are,
what gender you are or identify as, who you want to sleep with, how old you are, what your height or
weight is, what if anything may be different about your body or brain, what language you speak,
what country you're from, what God you pray to, where you work, how much money you have,
et fucking cetera. Is your contribution any *good?* That's all that matters.
10. If your contribution is not accepted, and you start *whining* about how it's "actually" because you're
of some-or-other gender/race/religion/nationality/whatthefuckever, you are attempting to have the deck
stacked in your favor because you're "special." That makes you an *asshole.* And you're *gone.*
11. Only those people who have contributed a sufficient quantity of good work to the project,
*as determined in the Owner's sole discretion,* will be allowed to assume any board position,
administrative position, or management-related role. And, any position that the Owner gives, they can
also *take away,* for any reason. Anyone who complains about this is an *asshole.* And they're *gone.*
12. You will do your own work.  If you try to pass off the work of others as your own, you're a
fucking *plagiarist,* and also an *asshole.* And you're *gone.*
13. If there's a discussion that cannot be resolved within the scope of the project,
*take that shit somewhere else.* The Owner does not want your bullshit here.  If you continue to spread
your bullshit here, you're an *asshole.* And you're *gone.*
14. As noted above, the Owner's decisions about any aspect of the project are *final.* Anyone
*pissing the Owner off* by getting all up in their face about said decisions is an *asshole.*
And they're *gone.*
15. Any advisory boards, committees, etc., having to do with this project will answer to *the Owner.*
The Owner reserves the right to disband any such whenever the hell they feel like it.  As always, anyone
complaining about this is an *asshole.* And they're *gone.*
16. Anyone who does not approve of the objectives, direction, or attitude of this project is
free to *get the fuck out* at any time. Bye Felicia!
