Let me see if I understand... You want to be able to say anything you want without repercussions. However, if someone else decides to say what they want in response, that is "blast your pic around the world", you are offended.

So your definition of censorship seems to be: "leting others call me on my bullshit". That is an odd definition.

Harassment is subjective.

An outsider who doesn't program Python eaves drops two Python programmers. She interjected, took a photo without permission. Who bullied who?

Outsiders from twitter and political wiki's who don't program try to hijack the discourse of a community on the forefront of diversity. Open source already welcomed programmers. What are we to make of these outsiders?

Codes of conduct are welcome bait for professional victims and attention seekers with no intention of coding.

Would you be convinced if I compiled the statistics in a blog post?

Tech culture is not even close to being on the forefront of diversity. It's a fucking embarrassment, actually. minorities are severely underrepresented in tech, and we need more of them. Diversity, and diversity of viewpoints is a great thing
