Even though I disagree with that part of their behaviour in general,
that's actually a very good point.

Which also stemmed from people complaining that there wasn't a CoC so
they would not participate (and would actively encourage others to
boycott).

In fact, there was a code of sorts:

but since that wasn't on the web page, and didn't have the "official"
wording, those people didn't accept as official.

I'll leave as an exercise to the reader to understand how those
people's CoCs have let them rule other people's communities on how to
behave "properly".
