This is why I stopped helping/participating in ##javascript on Freenode, and I don't think I'm alone. [Nicks of two enthusiastic mods redacted] made it clear (in channel as well as in private /msg) that any perceived troublemaking, if it could be distorted to break a CoC rule, would result in the user being blacklisted at most major JavaScript events. Who would accept that career risk? Having your name on such a list would be devastating. Increasingly, small groups of SJW-types (sorry, I can't think of a better description right now) are controlling mainstream open source communities. It seems these days more and more like if you want to actively participate in open source, you either have to fit a narrow definition of a Good Person, or else be a cold oracle of code, producing nothing but fact.
