All good-natured CoCs boil down to "don't be a dick". Trying to push a patch that changes all uses of a swear word into another word that turns the comments into nonsense is destructive behavior. It's being a dick.
The person pushing the patch doesn't really want to clean up those comments, or to make them more helpful. The only purpose there is to try to pick up a fight. And, like that one comment in the article says, I'm sure the maintainers would prefer for such people to "stay the fuck away from the code" until they stop being dicks.
