#3Looking through some of the issues on that repo, the amount of bad faith people have in the very idea of a code of conduct is astonishing. Not to mention the sheer ignorance of issues affecting minorities within the tech community (seriously, Jon Stewart could have had a weeks worth of material).
Sure, the wording of the code of conduct wasn't perfect, but it'd be much nicer if people wanted to see it improved in good faith. There's a lot of ugly things that happen in open source projects, which aren't rosy as some may assume, and the idea that making more people feel welcomed and safe in communities like GitHub can't take precedent over the possibility that a few current contributors will find themselves outside the rules on a regular basis is very worrying.

Github recently adopted this Code of Conduct for all of their own-brand projects, and they were encouraging other open source projects to adopt it as well: https://github.com/blog/2039-adopting-the-open-code-of-condu...

It seems like a lot of people are just upset because they feel the CoC discriminates against them.
You are harassed and have privileges ? I don't care, being harassed is still not fine whether you have privileges or not.
Seems to sum up what most people are complaining about.
