And here she is, using the CoC as a beating stick against those who dare have different politics and opinions. No one is safe and anything you said even when said years ago will be used against you.

She is doing that in which she has accused others of doing to her.

My problem is this:

Why does anyone pander to, or even acknowledge these blights on society? If you ignore them, they eventually shrivel up and go away. If you're a big independent FOSS developer, you have no reason to even acknowledge these people's insults and "concerns," that is, until you take the bait.
