 # The Code of Honour
 
 It's called a Code of "Honour", not a Code of "Conduct", for a reason.
+A Code of "Honour" is a positive and clear statement.  Everyone knows
+the difference between "good" and "bad".  Codes of "Conduct" on the
+other hand have nothing to do with honour, and by the time the reader
+has finished going through a horrific list of "proscribed behaviours",
+what are the chances that they will actually genuinely feel that the
+project is safe and welcoming?
