That's simply wrong.

As I, to confirm the freedom speech in IETF, explicitly confirmed
destructive harsh criticisms are not "unprofessional" (w.r.t.
the code) in

     https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/ietf/lBs5-1u3asjocT56PoQEdnv1m2g/

without resulting in SAAs' actions. There was no one who
argued against me that the statement were "unprofessional".
There was no one who argued against me that the statement
were "inappropriate" nor "impolite", which means such
destructive statements as

     IPv6 with unnecessarily lengthy 16B addresses without
     valid technical reasoning only to make network
     operations prohibitively painful is a garbage protocol.

and

     LISP, which perform ID to locator mapping, which is
     best performed by DNS, in a lot less scalable way than
     DNS is a garbage protocol.

is protected by "the freedom of speech" and is not "unprofessional"
and is fully acceptable.
i think the code of conduct may be inadequately worded. the above snippets in which ipv6 and lisp are designated "garbage protocols" have a productivity error in that neither is actionable. to use community resources and to take time and attention from other participants for no reason other than to publish invective is an abuse of position. even if i previously agreed with those statements or was persuaded to agree by those statements, there remains nothing i can do about that agreement. if i disagree then there is also nothing i can do.

we should make the best case we can for the positions we hope the WG will adopt, and answer any questions or misunderstandings of those positions during any subsequent debate. for example, here is my statement on the quality and utility of DNSSEC, along with others':

https://dnssec.net/why-deploy-dnssec

i raise this example because it's possible to criticize actionably. an oft-repeated criticism that paves no roads is a waste of everyone's time and is disrespectful on that basis.

my advice is to make your case and then make peace with the result.
