This makes me sad. Do people really need to be told what not to do and say like that? To me it feels insulting that I am not trusted to be nice to others.
This isn't targeted at you, though, or even the average person. Even if this stuff is obvious to most people, there certainly exist people who can't be trusted to be nice to others, and they're the ones causing problems, so they're the most important target audience for a code of conduct.
I'm more concerned about rules that I think might apply to me in a way I'd consider unfair than about rules that I'm already staying a safe distance from violating.
So you agree with the contents of the code of conduct but your not going to following them just to be difficult?
There isn't any evidence of it. On the other hand the language in the CoC itself is evidence that it comes from busybodies.
And just what evidence is that? You inferring something is not evidence.
In fairness, FreeBSD say at the end they lifted material from another CoC (geekfeminism), although looking at it (http://geekfeminism.wikia.com/wiki/Community_anti-harassment...) it's actually all on FreeBSD.
