Agreed. I watched an open-source project I was involved in go through this some years back. Some people used an expansive code of conduct to drive out others who made polite objections to some of its sillier rules, while those who had the upper hand engaged in nasty, personal attacks and were untouched. Saner minds eventually got things under control and replaced the code, but it took a couple of years and some good developers never came back. This kind of thing can do a lot of damage, not all of it obvious.
