You're saying that we should ignore clearly demonstrated intent behind this CoC because in many cases people who push it failed to achieve their goals? This level of deliberate obtuseness is hilarious.
The only controversy I could find was this call for a more comprehensive CoC to be adopted
As for the Code of Conduct, it's basic workplace propriety. That doesn't restrict your worldview, but it does mean you keep it on your own time.
1. The actions of the people behind and around this CoC speak otherwise. It is about worldviews, regardless where you express them.
2. Online communities are not a workplace.
3. The practical effect of this CoC is the exact opposite of what I would call "propriety".
For starters, how about the author of this very CoC calling for removal of Yukihiro Matsumoto from community management of Ruby after he refused to adopt the CoC? Or calling Opal to ban Elia Schito for some Tweet he posted, completely unrelated to the project?
