Eh, they do and that is one of the reasons to oppose the Code of Conduct. Its draft implicitly alleges that the technical spaces currently are a cesspit that is in urgent need of someone with a rake while protecting actual offend- ers by granting immunity to "neuroatypical" behaviour.
This is a pretty reasonable presumption regarding technical spaces: if you *don't* have a code of conduct, it's a reasonable conclusion from outside that there will be serious unacknowledged problems.
e.g. "You literally cannot pay me to speak without a Code of Conduct" http://rachelnabors.com/2015/09/01/code-of-conduct/
This is literally all well-worn discourse territory, but I'm sure if you both persist you can wear everyone down.
Repeating "reasonable" does not replace arguments. There is a lot of conjecture around code of conducts, just like there are a lot of prejudices elsewhere. Even if a belief is held by a significant number of people that does not make it a fact.
