about “Political current events” is there anything specific you want to change in this point, or somewhere else in the code of conduct?
No, but I do want to have a conversation about this point.
I don’t see the point of using automatic word replacements to avoid that people post certain words.
If entire segments of conceivable discourse are defined as off-limits, then sure, a few word filters would change nothing.
This is simple, concrete, and consistent with the discussion on Project vision, values, and statement.
Ok. Double bind excised! 
No, we have a code of conduct because […]
And now I am getting worried. In the interest of correcting for my biases (which seems to require interpreting people more charitably than they come across - I should remember to do this more often!), I will try to clarify.
You just answered the question “why do we need a code of conduct”.
I am not asking the question “why do we need a code of conduct”.
I am stating my belief that having “please stay on-topic” as part of the code of conduct would be counterproductive and/or open to abuse.
(And I just wrote an imperial heckton of words that explicitly point out that I’m not saying the first thing but the second one.)
Did you interpret me as asking the first question? If so, why?
I’m not trying to pick a fight with you, I’m not trying to demean your work, I’m saying the above because I’ve been around the block a few times and encountered certain failure modes that turn out to be surprisingly difficult to communicate about. Seeing that people are able to recognize and avoid those would make it easier for me to trust this space, and thus be more confident in recommending it to others.
It was already worrying when my pointing out of things I dislike, while maintaining my composure, was construed as nearly equivalent to hostility – but let’s chalk that off to whatever explanation you prefer.
Now I believe we are verging on another such failure of communication. There’s nothing that I am asking you to “do about it”; but I do hope that you will take appropriate notice of it.
