Very well said! It's quite easy to use one's disadvantages as an excuse
for anti-social behavior. The Code of Conduct certainly isn't perfect,
but it has proven to be one of the most effective tools in keeping a

Usually, I find when people dump on CoCs, they're just angry at
accountability. I haven't known anyone yet who was a productive
member of Python and opposed to the CoC, at least in principle
and aim.
