        Regardless whether it's true or not (to which I cannot speak),
        surely statements like that would violate *both* the contributor
        covenant *and* the CoC suggested by others.
    
    
    hahahaha, for that matter so does referring to them as 'two white
    guys'.   In fact, an armchair lawyer could have a hey-day with each
    and every one of Regina's characterizations of the players in the
    Ruby soap opera.   I was going to use the phrase 'somewhat snarky'
    in that last sentence but I'll refrain as it might be taken as a
    character assassination and be in violation of some covenent or
    another.

    
    I'm firmly in the 'keep this as short, simple, and terse as
    possible' camp, with zero references to any specific sorts of
    categories of differences.   How about "off topic BS will not be
    tolerated"  ?

    
    oh look, this entire discussion of CoC's is off topic for
    PostgreSQL-general, and its most certainly 'BS' by my reckoning! 
    (tongue planted in cheek).
