What I just considered due to your post is that it's quite likely that those who support C.o.C.s are also more likely to cast votes.

I think it quite likely that those with a libertarian life philosophy are far less likely to cast votes on websites in general, especially to voice disagreement.

I concur that those who want enforced niceness seldom are nice themselves and tend to often have their reasons and excuses of why they are justified when they are not so nice.

Most bad thing starts with very good intention.

The use of CoC might be one of them.

Bad intentions don't exist; the bad guy always sees himself as the good guy.

The zero tolerance politician with a domestic violence conviction probably believes that in his case it was different and justified, just as everyone with a domestic violence conviction does.
