I think that it's a legitimate position to be opposed to a CoC like this. I also think it's legitimate to feel so strongly about it, on philosophical or political grounds, that you are compelled to avoid participating while subject to the CoC. FWIW, the latter position seems rather extreme to me personally, but I still respect it. In all sincerity, if you're compelled to walk away from participating in mailing list discussions on a point of principle, then I wish you well. That is your right. -- Peter Geoghegan
