In the Scalaz community there was Dibblegate: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/scalaz/9X_putSGoCY https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/scalaz/9X_putSGoCY https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/scalaz/code$20of$20conduct|sort:relevance/scalaz/EBP_7sfB2ks/DL7NnrwSPD4J https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/scalaz/code$20of$... https://twitter.com/shajra/status/544712807220908032 https://twitter.com/shajra/status/544712807220908032 Basically a CoC was quietly created and applied retroactively to so that Typelevel (a major Scala consultancy) could try and kick Tony Morris (founder of Scalaz) off his own project. From what I understand, having a colorful community of weirdos made the open source project they based their company on seem unattractive to big corporate customers.

Here's the original IRC convo that precipitated it: https://gist.github.com/betehess/77de5b4b35ae11801936 https://gist.github.com/betehess/77de5b4b35ae11801936 I'd have to agree with you that the reaction seems absurd. He was unprofessional, sure, meriting a temporary kicking from IRC or something, but IMHO he who has never been a know-it-all (unheard-of on HN, ofc) or lost his temper over something silly on the internet should cast the first stone.
