CoC doesn't really affect me because I don't deliberately try to be a d-bag. In the time I've been on these mailing lists, I haven't seen any misconduct. I think it's pretty much a moot point and it'll be forgotten about as quickly as it came to attention.
Going back to something that was said yesterday, I never got an elitist/holier than thou vibe from anyone, although I did get answers that were above my pay grade at the time of asking, which frustrated me a little. I feel that asking a simple question to someone that has done something for years can kinda fall on deaf ears, because they don't remember the struggle of learning something like creating a net command or navigating the difference between setp and sets. Things can sometimes be taken out of context and seem dickish, when the intentions were good, but the information was just a little above the level of understanding. "Create a net command" isn't the answer some people are looking for, "create a net command and here's how they're constructed" is really what they're after, but nowadays, that can be seen as "mansplaining", so it's lose/lose. Even after 17 years of teaching CNC, I still have the issue of deciding whether or not to give someone the "down and dirty" or the "step by step" explanation, which is why I always ask people their current level of knowledge and train by my "3E" method - explain, example, execute.
