I can’t believe this “CoC” meme actually propagated.

Project maintainers should assess whether these CoC pushers are actually bringing any value to the project.

These CoC’s feel like a way to remove someone you don’t like from a project without any real productive basis. A weapon used by folks who like to feel self righteous when they “cancel” people who don’t align with their ideologies.

Adults don’t need a “Code of Conduct” to know they should be civil and respectful. If there’s to be a CoC it should only state “get rid of anything that gets in the way of good code” and they should start by booting these CoC nazis who are making their childish fragility’s other peoples problems.

Don’t like something someone said? Talk to them personally before wasting people’s time and resources.
