Here’s another perspective on this situation.
Personally, from what I’ve read, this stinks of a group of people trying to bully the developer out of Python using the rules as their weapons. It’s a cowardly tactic.
It's ironic to me because from what I have seen in many technical online communities at least, places that have an established code of conduct seem to have an extremely difficult time dealing with opinions they happen to not like, which to me is the opposite of their own CoC terms such as tactful, respectful, safe and inclusive. Instead the opinions they don't like are weaponized using the other negative terms they list such as anti-social, unhelpful, trolling, controversial etc. Basically I guess it's all left up to interpretation by the mods as to how/if to handle those situations, which was already the case anyway.

People latch on whatever little power they can get via these social constructs.
Office politics comes to mind here too.
