Regardless of the (undoubtedly funny) nature of that very document, I wish that “codes of conduct” weren’t such a big thing. “Don’t be a dick” is the only rule one would ever need, and there is not much bureaucracy needed to enforce that.
That's great until someone says "I'm not being a dick, I'm just telling the truth" while being a dick. This is especially easy to pull off against minorities, because the aforementioned "truth" can be based on stereotypes or inaccurate media portrayals.
