I don't really understand who/what is supposed to come out of this.
Do we want to put stamps on people's behaviours?
Do we want to shun someone because he had a bad day and called a user a
nitwit?

I can understand Ethics code, but I wouldn't sign this, knowing full
well that I'll have bad days, and I call people things worse than nitwit
even on a good day.
