Hi @inhuofficial
! Thanks so much for asking for some clarification. More than happy to help. Really glad you're enjoying this community 🙂
I think the edit that's now at the end of the post sums it up pretty well. Essentially, our moderators interpret this post not as a personal attack on Adam Wathan but as a critique on a system at play in the dynamic described. The intention here doesn't seem to be to insult Adam but instead, the general framework of privilege white men benefit from inherently — and the patterns that result from this.
I hope this clarifies things a bit further. If you have any other questions about our Code of Conduct, feel free to direct them to our team email: yo@dev.to

@graciegregory
thank you for taking the time to respond.
It doesn't unfortunately, it is probably an America vs UK culture thing (or just me needing an attitude adjustment!) that means I can't quite grasp where the line is, but thank you for pointing me to the email address to have a less public discussion about it.
I hope you get to enjoy the rest of your weekend and have no more "fires to put out"! and once again thank you for taking the time to respond.

Identity politics is a very toxic viewpoint and I'd hope people start realizing that we're individuals and we're not bound by group identities and as such being evaluated as one group.
This "code of conduct" is a perpetuation of discrimination against groups/people and is therefore appalling, it should be revised.
You talk about inclusion, but really what this is all about is "getting even" with "white people". It's a backwards philosophy that has created a lot of conflict in the past but now it's deemed appropriate because it's targeted at "westerners".
more censorship, that's how to deal with opinions other than your own. Don't discuss them, hide them.
