You would never get me on board with that either. To iterate my thoughts
around a CoC are exactly this:

""" A CoC is about providing a safe, respectful, productive, and
collaborative place for any person who is willing to contribute in a
safe, respectful, productive and collaborative way.

A CoC is not about being offended. The act of being offended is purely a
recipients response and usually because the recipient is more interested
in being a victim than moving forward. """

Announcing "I'm offended" is basically telling the world you can't
control your own emotions, so everyone else should do it for you.
