I don't think it is reasonable to expect the code of conduct to hold 
against forceful outside influence - be that a group of armed thugs 
crashing your conference, or a group of policemen come to make trouble, 
or the businessperson making a sexist remark at the hotel breakfast buffet.

The code of conduct is meant to codify how we as a community want to 
treat each other. It doesn't magically wrap people into a bubble in 
which nothing bad can ever happen - not in Nairobi, not in Brussels, not 
in New York. No code of conduct does that, nowhere.

Bye
Frederik
