I find that email a perfect summary of the current situation.

A bit rough tone, sure, but I think that shows that he’s actually passionate about these things. That’s good, not bad.

Passionate speech is not allowed in the borg-cube of a culture we're growing.

One could argue that it is possible to speak passionately while following the CoC, and that only certain kinds of passionate speech are forbidden.

What I find interesting are the ways that CoCs are sometimes selectively weaponized.
