> the vile reactionary attitudes towards the introduction of Codes of Conduct I really like this post aside from this very small point, because codes of conduct can only be used to exclude people. The obvious counterpoint is that we can't know how many people are silently excluded by tolerating any particular person, and yeah that definitely happens, but I still don't like it on principle :)

[agree] I consider referring to people as "vile" for having a different opinion on how to organize a community to be pretty contemptuous.

  Except that the author doesn't refer to any person as vile. They refer to the attitude as vile.

    To put a finer point on it, they are referring to particular attitudes as vile, not necessarily all attitudes that came out in opposition to codes of conduct.
