I fear your post will be deleted soon, my friend, and that if it survives it will be attacked. SQLite tried to do the softest, most reasonable stand against this CoC stuff, and the result was an outcry that caused them to have to knuckle under immediately.

How can you explain to your boss why this CoC is not to your liking, and still keep your job? There can be no defense against this incursion, only anger and grumbling online until it is shut down.

They used to call it the 'long march through the institutions', but now shortcuts are being taken and the pace has increased.

I feel like if a software has a rule against using certain smileys - it's not a good sign of stability. Within such a few years so much was lost of the simple and innocent craft of writing software. It's a minefield now. I'm honestly afraid what will come next.
