You call it a CoC violation, I call it civil disobedience. Sunlight is the best disinfectant, and if moderator abuse is swept under the rug all the time, practices will never change. Ban me again if you like... you've pretty much got the power (if not the authority) to do that arbitrarily any time you like... but if you do it, you're the one who's going to have to look in the mirror and wonder how you ended up in this position.
