But it's not. Not only. Code is the result, sure, at least one of, but
there's a lot of things involved that aren't code.

This is not a code in any meaningful sense except trivial - just as
"main() {}" is a program in C, but not a useful one except for doing
nothing. People's notions of "being an adult" differ. Now, it can be
argued - and was argued - that we don't actually need a code, but then
discussing details of the code is useless, of course.

I've never been in support group, so I'm not sure what is meant by "act
like a support group", but I guess where CoC pushes us depends on CoC?
That's why we spend time on figuring it out.

I think we should not disseminate legal advice here :) But without being
a lawyer I can assure you suing somebody on the internet for trolling is
not a winning proposition.
