This is the part about all this CoC talk I never understand. Why on earth would someone change their regular behavior when "at a meetup or conference that has not implemented a CoC" ?
This sounds to me like a very "Wild West" kind of interpretation of civil life that doesn't necessarily map to other societies - and even the days of "Wild West" are long over, aren't they ;-)
To me, the main purpose of CoCs is not the text itself. It's getting organizers thinking about how they would react to possible issues upfront.
