Actually, IMHO it is totally enough. The best CoC would be just a CoC with one point: 1. Be polite and behave like an adult. This is still the second best approach though, the _best_ one is no CoC at all. People need to realize one thing - not having a CoC doesn't make you not welcoming or whatever; not listing all the SJW buzzwords in the rules doesn't make something it unsafe place. Basically, I don't think projects should act like a support group, but it seems it is the direction the CoCs try to push them. If somebody harrases you or something, you can always sue him - and it's much more effective approach than reporting him to the projects he is a part of. Regards Pavel Kouril
