Thanks for showing that our very own developers are not immune against 
brainfarts as well. This whole reply of yours shows nothing other than a 
complete reflection of why there is something like the Code of Conduct needed.

I seriously question why you even opened up your mail client to write this 
reply. If you don't see the need for something new, fine. If you don't like it, 
fine. 
But it was chosen by our own artists, nuno included, and it got a lot of 
positive feedback. This thread obviously tries to discuss how to go further 
about it.
If you don't care,  i am sure there are other emails to read or reply to. 
Hopefully that time you will then even come up with arguments...
