Ruby removed “Participants will be tolerant of opposing views” from its CoC
I realize CoCs were introduced to make certain supposedly marginalized groups more at home at conferences.  But my personal experience&#x2F;feeling is the complete reverse.  I am a member of a minority as a person with a disability.  In all the years I was interacting with the community, I haven&#x27;t had a single issue with someone I couldn&#x27;t handle myself.  I never felt uneasy interacting with others.  But the day I saw the first CoC being used in a community I was interacting with, I started to feel uneasy.  I cant really say why, but I feel I dont want to interact with groups which need rules like these.  I also stopped going to conferences.  Gosh, I am even glad I didnt go to the DebConf where they invited Linus only to realize later that they are very unhappy with his speaking style.  I would have felt too much shame for being a part of such a group of hyprocrits.
