+# 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!
