>  If the attacker goes public, we point people at the exchange that happened where Tom has presumably already
discussedthe reasons that the patch/feature/&c isn't being accepted. 

If someone wanted to out someone, they would study them carefully.  They would find Tom's buttons and push them.
They will show proof of Tom saying fuck you trans thing (probably something worse) and all that and it would  be a bad
reflectionon Tom and our community. 
It's because they don't have a Coc that Tom is such a jerk.  They let the power get to his head.
They would have proof is my point in an email trail.

Luckily I think Tom doesn't have many visible buttons to push, but others in our community do.
Anyrate I think it's looking more like a Coc will hurt us more than do us good.  This is beginning to feel too much
likeHighschool Lincoln-douglass debating which I never enjoyed. 
I just want to get back to programming something useful.


> I don't think I understand your point. So I get 100 friends to come here and ask for Tom to be outed, we ask for the
reasonand when they don't produce a valid one, nothing happens because none of us have any power. 
They will ask, they'll point at a random link.  Like this one -

You'll be too lazy to read it and assume they read it and they are right.  Tom will be persecuted for some link
everyonewas too lazy to read. 
News of Tom's jerkiness would spread across the internet like a virus.
The jerk think would be echoed by everyone until everyone believes it and takes it to heart. "Tom is a big jerk. How
canthe PostgreSQL project allow such a jerk to be running the show." 
Tom will feel bad and think - "No good deed goes unpunished", he'll step down.

THE END


Thanks,
Regina
