People can decide who they want to respond to, but I'm going to gently suggest that before people think about responding to a particular e-mail, that they do a quick check using "git log --author=xyzzy@example.com" then decide how much someone appears to be a member of the community before deciding how and whether their thoughts are relevant.
There are a lot of strong feelings on this issue, and allowing people who aren't members of the Linux kernel development community, to escalate the rhetoric --- either in the pro- or anti- CoC direction, and whether on mailing lists, github comment threads, Twitter, or Reddit --- is not helpful.
For example....

I mean, this bullshit > pressure comes from corporations and other wierd places (<subtext>all > seeing eye</subtext>) that want to "help".
There are people commenting from all sides that are wanting to "help". But I hope that it is obvious that the above text is *not* *helpful*. Mark, please stop.
