Discussions often go down this road, and it leads to nonsensical arguments like "well Hitler didn't like fox hunting, and Hitler is bad, therefore fox hunting is good".

There is nothing morally wrong with Hitler contributing code to a project, provided there's nothing morally wrong with the impact that code has.

Most of the argument around CoCs is along the lines of "Hitler wants to exterminate people like me, therefore I don't feel safe being associated with this community, therefore Hitler should be excluded to make the community more inclusive."

Maybe the answer is that there should be less "community" around a project, and the work should speak for itself.

(I wonder how quickly someone will misinterpret my words as a defence of bigotry or National Socialism…)
