This is a very long document to say "don't be an asshole to your colleagues". If you really need this, and particularly you need this at work, you have bigger issues than a CoC will ever solve, in my opinion.

I will never understand the concept/framework of "microaggressions" (I get, but I feel it's ridiculous - probably it's because I never lived in the US, I don't know), but that is a story for another day and place.

This is a bit more than "don't be an asshole to your colleagues". It's "don't microaggress your colleagues". Even or especially if it's unintentional.

I only hope that all companies with goofy policies like this in place will announce themselves and save me the trouble of burdening them with my insensitivity.

I really hate this trend.

FOSS doesn't need more bureaucracy, it needs less.
