Did I miss an incident that prompted this?
Apparently not. I have asked the same question and nothing has been brought up,
cited, etc.
I have no idea why it was written.
Unless this COC adds more features to LCNC or fixes bugs, does the dishes, or
launders my clothes etc, I am going to ignore it.
I recommend the same.
Carry on.
I don't think it is worth the brain space.

instances of someone interjecting a political opinion which was either
silently ignored or promptly dismissed with an admonition that this was not
the place for such expression and that was the end of it. Did I miss an
incident that prompted this?

Put me down in that column. I am all for ignoring it, and this list going
back to one of the most helpfull lists on the net. This is destroying
us.

That is why I am going to set digest mode on for the mailing list,
so that I will read messages once every month and not be harassed
every day by this useless anti-CoC endeavour, which is a distraction
that diverts my time from useful work. So you know that whatever you
post it will be read at end of the month and not immediately.
Taking now to private mail messages off-list: I have set a filter
for marking as spam everything from this list with off-list
destination to my private address, exception for the list admins.
Those who insist writing off-list to this private address will be
reported to their respective mail providers, again exception for the
list admins.
Stay well and God be with you.

See if that endures after the mess.
That sounds a bit like an arsonist taking credit for a fire. The
mess was caused by the Code of Conduct being forced on the
community, and now it's threatening to destroy the community.
From my perspective, it sounds like, "LinuxCNC has never needed a
Code of Conduct, but we're going to force you to have one, and if
you resist, we'll destroy LinuxCNC. You can either give in to our
demands and exploit LinuxCNC as a vehicle to extend our political
beliefs, or we'll destroy LinuxCNC and you'll have nothing."
The sad part is, the second law of thermodynamics implies that it's
easier to destroy rather than create. There are plenty of recent
examples of a few politically motivated individuals destroying
projects, doxing people and getting them fired, bullying
corporations into making political statements, etc. It's called
cancel culture and it's feared with good reason. It took a lot of
work to build Rome but it was comparatively a simple and easy thing
for the Visigoths to destroy it.
As an engineer, I see myself as a builder - someone who is working
to reverse entropy to create, and not a modern day Visigoth using
entropy to destroy what others have created.
