A CoC which says "be nice to each other / don't be an asshole" is worth nothing
and a red flag to look out for. It's used as a quick fix by conferences to just
be done with the discussion.

In practice it puts the burden on the victim. Offenders have nothing to fear,
since they can always say: "Oh, I was just being nice!". Bystanders, too, have a
hard time pointing out offensive behaviour when it's happening, removing support
from victims.
