Comment on: [Poll] Do you write hexadecimal numbers in upper- or lowercase?
I use upper in Windows and lower in *NIX, usually.

I understand.. and I don't know why you got downvoted so hard.. but my point is that this is odd. Even more so because open source projects couldn't really care about their nonsense, as it doesn't relate to code in any way. It's more of an unwelcome intrusion, and if they weren't even part of the community then they're just out to make trouble. "Good intentioned individuals" is possible, but seems unlikely.

Well, there is the theory that the entire SJW movement is created and pushed by The Powers That Be... and this fits right into it. Open source is anti-corporate to a degree, and certainly no friend of the NSA... so destroying the entire movement would work into that agenda, if it truly exists. Leave us in a DMCA-locked-down world where we have to pay Microsoft to turn Windows 10 features back on, and get all your info from the new corpa-net service you pay for.

If they were programmers that were involved in open source, and found that there were problems in the community, then you might have a point. Instead, they're pushing their way into a group - a group that they don't know and don't understand, and have no reason to push their nonsense since they don't know anything about it - and trying to push their ideals onto people who didn't want them there in the first place. If they don't understand the culture.. why do they think they know what the problem is? The position of "drama queen" does not exist in the programming world. Some programmers may be drama queens, but they're programmers first.
Lots of people believe in what they're doing, doesn't make them a force for good. Lots of people have done lots of bad or stupid things because they believed in some nonsense.

why are CoCs always pushed by non-programmers who don't understand the culture?
Leads me to believe that there's an agenda behind this kind of thing. All sorts of open-source getting attacked by these kind of people? Clearly they don't have any interest in the projects or the programming, so their motivation must be something else. If they don't have any interest in the project, then we can only assume that they aren't doing this out of the kindness of their hearts, and don't have the project's best interests in mind.
Logical conclusion: They want to harm open source projects. And you don't go on the internet and try to harm open source projects without some motive for doing so.
Sticky.
