    Do highly politicized “signatures”, such as those from Matthias Apitz, contravene any code of conduct guidelines?

      If you believe it is, there are guidelines for reporting such conduct to
      those responsible for enforcing the guidelines.
      Promoting a public discussion is more likely to make things worse, not
      better. That why the committee exists.

        Would have been great to provide the link:

        I prefer transparency, especially about a somewhat meta question like this.
        IMHO, nothing about that particular sig violates anything in our Code of
        Conduct. Political views are allowed. Personal attacks are not.
        Cheers,
        Greg
