> He called github "braindamaged". Isn't that against the CoC?

So, you think he violated a Code of Conduct that did not exist at the time, in the course of explaining why he was not a user of the service (so that any Code of Conduct for that service would not apply to him even if it existed.)

He's making a sarcastic reference to this recent incident: https://b0wie.s3.amazonaws.com/second-response-full.jpg.
I wonder what would happen if I push some electromagnetic calculations to Github (I'm a physicist): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retarded_potential
You can't win an argument against people who gave up on logic.
Making the violation before it's formalized does not necessarily excuse it. Perhaps proper action is to remove the full post or specific parts.
