At this point there is also widespread disagreement on what constitutes "professional behavior". It sounds like in this case your CoC is actually written by Emily Post.

For an example, take Caltech's honor system. It involves several thousand people, and it objectively cannot work. But it does, and it does because the Caltech community likes it and takes a dim view of anyone who would disrupt it. I liked Caltech's honor system very much, and have tried to model my own life on it. D's community attitudes very much reflect that tone I've tried to set. BTW, see my other recent thread about honor. I am saddened by the pushback I get for it.
