The email was presumptuous, so as to describe "more productive", and threatening with "consider this a warning". It also felt cold and unwelcoming like a bot generated it.
I do not advocate this CoC at all, but at the very least the email could have stuck to what was known to start a private conversation and left it at that, "Hey, someone reached out to us because they felt threatened by your comment here [...]" and show an interest in the details beyond a passing glance at the allegedly offensive statement. If genuine concern can't be established (doubly hard given this is all done in text), then I imagine the "kangaroo court" calling will only get worse.
