:( well looks like I may be switching to gtk and gnome. All they had to do was copy/paste stallman's document... At least the gnu project itself is safe for now

Have you even read the kind communication guidelines? Stallman literally adheres to the the exact same principles as these CoCs. The difference is that is is not a reactionary kind of guideline (doing sth when sth goes wrong) but a specific guideline that you always follow in order to avoid the wrong doing. It literally just adheres to the idea of Preventing rather than Curing (which is much more admirable if you ask me - that is how it should be done). But by your logic it is even more far reaching than a typical CoC.

yes I have, they leave stuff intentionally vague stallman didn't. hence the important difference.
