Re: What's all the hoopla about ?

Thae problem is as follows:

"Using welcoming and inclusive language"

As defined by whom? Here's a guess: whoever hates you and wants you gone.

"Gracefully accepting constructive criticism"

Only applies to you, not to anyone with power who wants you gone.

And so on. Codes of conduct are nearly always put there as a method of forcing out undesirables. The definition of undesirable is whoever in power does not want to be around.
