I think this is taking it too far. The "Code of Conduct" being

We are talking about GNOME hosted platforms. Planet GNOME, blogs.gnome.org and the GNOME mailing lists are all forums we host and I think we can (and do) expect a certain standard of conduct on them. For example, if someone started spamming the Foundation list, we would block them.

(Public does not mean you can do whatever you want. In most public places there are laws you have to follow.)
