One problem is that "professional" has a broad range of meanings, and as
variety of cultures are represented here. I've had bosses that thought
things like "What's the f--- @^Q@#$ is wrong with you?" was professional
if the person "deserved" it.
It would be nice to have a published code of conduct; it doesn't need to
be large or formal, just a simple definition of professional, respectful
behavior. Anybody would be able to point to it, rather than hope you or
someone who's around enough to feel comfortable calling someone out is on
the NG at the time.
