Little saddened at the backlash to this. Its a generic CoC, that many open 
source projects use. It's not much different than a generic GPL open-source 
projects use.

Engineers and Blue collar have a bad enough reputation for being not so nice to 
outsiders. The backlash to this definitely reinforces this.

I might still make the odd pull request but this mailing list, I'm out.

Andy,

It all depends on how that Constitution is forged.  Ours was beat to death
in Philadelphia before there was enough agreement from all involved, then
it was sent on to the States for ratification.  The States didn't all agree
and that's what got the Bill of Rights added to it.

It wasn't a document that was written and forced on an unwilling population
with no representation.  That's probably the biggest difference between the
USA's Constitution and many others in the world.

The CoC probably would have better accepted if our input had been taken
before it was dumped on us.

Mark
