Calling out violations of the code of conduct certainly takes some
directness, but merely calling out the behavioral violations is not in
and of itself rude.  Sérgio's behavior I think is exactly the type of
reason we adopted the code of conduct; insulting others is not wanted
and is not welcome on this list.  The harder part of having a code of
conduct is trying to coax people to follow it.  Several folks tried
nicer responses to Sérgio earlier in the thread, but to no avail.

Jonathan jumped in to do so; I thought he did an exemplary job.
