And this is exactly why I don't want us to give opening to such kind of
people to come here and try to abuse our CoC for their means - basically
for "hounding out" people they for some reason disagree with. They
exist, and they are eager and willing to destroy (not physically but
professionally and reputation-wise) everybody who disagrees with them,
and I am not exaggerating. And I don't want them here. So anything that
hints that they are welcome to do their thing here makes me feel uneasy
(having CoC does not, but declaring that we police the behavior outside
the community feels like going into that direction). Here I think
"hounding out" is not our favorite pastime, and I think it should remain
this way.

That is unless, of course, this account is a troll created to destroy
the CoC cause. In which case I envy the power of commitment and the
talent behind it and I wish that talent were applied to a more worthy
goal. But in any case this one is not alone - I've read many comments if
not as explicit, but with same thought and intent, on various forums.
Some of them, surprisingly, even signed by real names.
