There's more than enough competent people who aren't asocial edgelords. Most people are happy letting other people live their lives and will in fact shit on people who don't allow others to do the same.

That's not hall monitoring, that's what the both of us think we're doing. Difference is one of us is shitting on people who would exclude others based on their identity, and the other is shitting on people who would shit on people who would shit on people based on their identity. You're not against shitting on people, you just want to be allowed to shit on other people without consequence. That's not how the world works. Talk shit, you get shown the door.

The reference to asociality and anti-sociality is rather ironic in the context of abuse of power and specifically going out of one’s way, as a paid employee, to harm someone working on OSS projects full-time for free.
To edgelords, any enforcement of CoC is abuse of power.
Not really.

Want to reply to actual content or are you enjoying your nitpicking?

Since when pointing out the elephant in the room is "nitpicking"?
Since stripping the nitpicky word out detracts from the comment a negligible amount, since always. It's obnoxious word and tone policing that doesn't say anything.
