Sorry if I didn't respond fast enough, I'm teaching this semester (check out http://vbraun.cc/qft, also includes some Sage numerical experiments)
Why is it so important? If it makes you feel better to personally insult somebody then PM me, I can take it. But I'm pretty sure that the authors would be less happy to be called "big-dicked" than me. If you are interested in gender roles then I'm happy to report that persons of both genders contributed to it. I was not personally involved (in my negative spare time), but I was asked whether I agree. I did and I posted it. Frankly, having a code of conduct akin to Fedora/Django isn't a big conspiracy. I haven't seen any argument that Fedora/Django should not have a code of conduct, and if you want to argue against one in general then your argument should cover that. Unless you think that being a mathematician makes your inter-personal behavior superior to that of a non-mathematician. But I think the recent thread is ample evidence that talking to mathematicians about ethics is perhaps even more hopeless than to talk to a moral philosopher about mathematics.
