The rules lawyer in me sees these two points, which can be employed to immediately shut up anybody for fear of expulsion:

   * Harassment (either in public or private; if someone asks you to stop
     speaking to/at them, you must stop immediately)
   * If someone takes issue with something you said or did, resist the urge to
     be defensive. Just stop doing what it was they complained about and
     apologize.

As soon as anybody talks to you, just tell them you "take issue with it" and they have to shut up or be shunned.

Also, this is is clearly US-centric, with its puritan-christian view of sexuality as destructive:

    This section states the values to which Go enthusiasts (“Gophers”) should
    aspire, and the kinds of behaviors that are not acceptable in our community.

...

   * Romantic or sexual commentary, remarks, or questions.

As far as the sexuality bit, it's basic professionalism. The entire Code of Conduct would be much better if it was just "Be professional". Yes, there'd be many more judgement calls involved, but that's a much better plan than foisting responsibility for making judgement calls onto these kinds of rules.

>As soon as anybody talks to you, just tell them you "take issue with it" and they have to shut up or be shunned.

The rules lawyer in me wants to prove a point by harassing people through deliberately taking issue with what a particular person says. It'd be coordinated, and best if it was ironically directed at the people who wanted to bring in the CoC.

Those are pretty clearly off topic from the subject of golang, don't you think?

[Vorcin84]

Actually, the Code of Conduct is intended to be all-encompassing:

  Where does it apply?

  The Code of Conduct applies generally. If you
  participate in or contribute to the Go ecosystem
  in any way, you should
  observe the Code of Conduct.

So, golang is a way of life, according to this CoC.
