I don't think saying "WTF" to someone, especially spelled out, is
usually conducive to eliciting a constructive response from them.
Something like "Could you please explain why you did that?" is pretty
much always a better way to communicate.  (This is if it's directed at
their actions/code/etc., obviously, not at PHP or whatever.)

However, it is not at all clear that such a statement is against
anything written in the CoC.  At most it would be "offensive
comments", which is extremely vague.  I think it would be good if all
forms of non-constructive communication *were* against the CoC --
although not necessarily dealt with by bans -- but I don't see that
they are.
