And they are also +1, because it basically means - "let's everyone be like me".

And according to Newton's third law when there is action, there is a counter
action. So sooner or later expect something like lawyer guide "how to piss off
people without breaking the CoC". And then you need to think about
enforcement policy.. and then there won't be much discussions about code,
but more about who said what to whom and all that BS.
