I didn't see that in the previous revisions

I do not see any, and I'm looking for them

I will bite my tongue on this allegation, but it suffices to say this does
not hold much water for me in THIS email.

Where you see caustic, I see tongue-in-cheek.

The wiki entry didn't violate any rules.  The page you linked is on a
Microsoft/GitHub server, not a PSF one.  Does the CoC apply to literally
anyone anywhere that uses python, then?  Isn't that a little extreme?  I
don't remember seeing that in the python license.
