You are wrong. 

You can favour or be against a code of conduct. 
You can have any judgement about the community and how the community 
work/should work.
You can leave or you can stay in places that matches 100% or just partially 
your ideology. 

What you cannot do is to bash people because they think differently. 

And that phrase was meant to bash an ideology, not to argument against the CoC. 

So yes, he is out of place.

introducing it as a negative fact is misleading. 
Also it was phrased in a way that despise others.

Then I recommend you to read again more carefully: 
- That wording is an insult to all people that support a leftist vision of the 
world.
- That wording bashes a position without argument (is bad because is from the 
left).

Using some older discussion as a way to create arguments into a new discussion 
is called “fallacy ad hominem” and is not a good way to defend your arguments.
So, I ask you: Please stop.
