I agree that his talk was not in any way offensive. But I have to add that no matter if you think they where right or wrong about their judgement, it seems plainly true that they where horribly wrong in how they carried out the process. Even in cases where someone was violating their CoC, they should have lived up to their own states process and held themselves to a much much higher standard. Yes, trying to weed out “assholes” is a good objective, but that doesn’t mean you can go about it any which way without yourself being a monumental asshole. CoC’s very point is to be consistent and open about your process. If you throw out the outlines process the second someone sends a report and only use it for its waist ace so you can say “you violated CoC” without any mention to which parts, then it’s not worth 2 cents.
