(Wow. I cannot recall a time I've seen so many posts that just make
me shake my head in sadness. It's painfully obvious that a code of
conduct is way outside the wheelhouse of many of the participants
in this thread.)

Nitpick: PGDG is not used. And perhaps "PostgreSQL" alone is enough?

Too defensive; not needed in the code of conduct.

Already addressed upthread; mostly agree with the direction it is heading.

Too specific, covered by #1. Also, no definition of "CoC committee".

Needed? I know part of a code of conduct is stating the obvious, but...

> 6. The CoC is not about Social Justice.

Really no need for this. Defensive, and introduces a loaded term.

Thanks, JD, for pushing this forward.
