There's a XKCD comic which points out how people who claim to "hate drama" tend to be the most dramatic people[1].
That's how I tend to perceive projects that put a lot of emphasis on their CoC. The more they emphasize it, the more I expect pettiness, vindictiveness, and bad faith.

- astrange 7y agoIt's not surprising that a large or corporate project would need an HR department, which is what the CoC is. Anyone who objects to that probably has never worked at a large company, or used a forum with no mods. But the important thing isn't the rules, it's that there's someone to enforce them. Ideally, the rules exist to constrain them, not you.
- lliamander 7y agoWhatever you may think about how a CoC ought to work, my observation about they work in practice (and the people who push them) remains the same. > Anyone who objects to that probably has never worked at a large company. I can assure you that's false.
