Well, perhaps I wasn't accurate enough. What I meant that the whole *need* of such paper as a CoC is in my mind related to political correctness and other Western trends. I was not a fan of the idea when people just said that a CoC would be constructed becuase it is so neccessary instead of such simple rules of normality like https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Don%27t_be_a_jerk. Either somebody understand his sentence or any kind of detailed rules and laws of how not to be a jerk will be useless for him. Anyway, we are over it, and this is not worth too many word already, I just wanted to higlight this connection and think out of the box for a moment..
