I think this is exchange is clear proof that the list requires a Code of

Unfortunately I think we need a code of conduct too.
As Steve Holden points out, we're already covered by
<https://www.python.org/psf/codeofconduct/>.
If anyone feels that the standards of courtesy, tact, respect described there
are too burdensome for them, now is probably a good time to reconsider whether
they can continue to participate here.
I remember Dan Ariely reporting research in which some students were asked
to sign the MIT honour code before taking a test (in his book "Predictably
Irrational" I think). It was found those students cheated less than a
control group. But, MIT doesn't *have* an honour code (according to
Ariely, at the time)! The hypothesis is that we need reminding about
these things to behave better -- and the code itself is not so important.
