Sure, one of the effect of CoCs is that it can be easier to get rid of an assohole who, even if he is productive, can have a negative impact (not a judgment about the case at hand wrt.

I've often found myself fighting the macho/childish/exclusive culture around tech, yet the reliance of formal CoCs to police our attitude have made me feel uncomfortable. I guess I'm not the only one.
