Tell me what's constructive about that? Somebody (minority) want to implement CoC for everybody, everybody else (majority) don't care or fight it. Your "constructive" aproach is: force CoC anyway, how diminishing it might be, but force it on everyone. Later "we" can change CoC to fit our needs. And you are really surprised that this discussion is becomming a bit tense?
