> we have those warnings on lawnmowers

because of lawsuit-happy culture, not due to lack of common sense.

Rachel Nabor's article is interesting, but not sure how a CoC fixes dealing with a boorish weirdo outside the conference.

Do you imply that maiming should be a common occurrence or that warnings prevent no injuries?
In this context I'm implying CoC do not "prevent" nor the lack thereof causes bad behavior.

This BTW seems to get to the crux of what half of his decision was about. If he thinks CoC are worthless, that is not the same thing as believe abuse should be a common occurrence.
