It will be no surprise to hear that I'd prefer to not have to wade
thru off-topic Apple-related stuff here (either bashing or promotion).

But I get even more frustrated when folks invoke the Code of Conduct
in the same breath that they personally attack fellow team members.

The Code of Conduct doesn't demand that people be right all the time.
But it does demand that we "treat one another with respect".

You can disagree about technical issues.  Folks seem to want to
disagree here about politics, and even religion for heaven's sake :/

But can we agree to not call each other names?

Please?
