I already submitted it here once, so I'm skipping it - but I do
personally like how it says the project is about code.

Actually, IMHO it is totally enough. The best CoC would be just a CoC
with one point:
1. Be polite and behave like an adult.

This is still the second best approach though, the _best_ one is no CoC at all.

People need to realize one thing - not having a CoC doesn't make you
not welcoming or whatever; not listing all the SJW buzzwords in the
rules doesn't make something it unsafe place. Basically, I don't think
projects should act like a support group, but it seems it is the
direction the CoCs try to push them.

If somebody harrases you or something, you can always sue him - and
it's much more effective approach than reporting him to the projects
he is a part of.
