Does the political climate in CA demand that people ignore subtle nuances about inclusiveness?
Linus said, "...I've literally had developers who were working on things that I didn't really like, but I didn't shut down early enough. They worked on it for a long time; they felt that it was ready, they submitted it to me, and I said "no this was horrible" because at that point I had to make a decision. And at least in one of those cases I had some other friends basically email me later and saying "the guy is suicidal"."

I think you imply a CoC, and Russ's style needs no improving. If you must adopt a CoC why don't you assume people will behave badly and provide a workaround instead of relying on virtue.
