I agree that political correctness should not be the focus of a technical discussion, and like-wise there shouldn't be anything remotely offensive in those kinds of discussions either. Just as political correctness eats away at your soul, racism/sexism/etc... do too. You're free to run your own projects however you want; the maintainer of Oden obviously doesn't want to work with people who require the freedom to be offensive in public forums. If that offends you then don't work on it.

It's more nuanced than that: Many people have no intention of being offensive but don't want to be regulated either. CoC projects often attract the worst politicians who are just acceptably polite on the surface but absolutely cold and ruthless in their actions. Ironically, these people also often tend to blog about politeness in OSS.

  No one is forcing you to work on the project. If you think this is how CoC works, then stop working on projects that add them. The rest of us will work on whatever projects we want and hopefully every piece of crap will decide they don't want to work on any of the projects because they're offended by CoCs.

> the maintainer of Oden obviously doesn't want to work with people who require the freedom to be offensive in public forums. I'm sure that is the intent, but they make the code of conduct explicitly (and I would say somewhat aggressively) political. I think that it will deter a number of otherwise respectful and conscientious people. In any case, I am glad that they are publishing a code of conduct. I don't like the content of the particular CoC they chose, but at least I know where they stand. As for the project itself, it looks really cool. It seems to be addressing the kind of concerns that keep people like myself from engaging in the Go ecosystem.
