I think that is a completely unreasonable interpretation.  It has, I
think, been obvious to essentialy everyone that these sorts of
diversity/courtesy concerns about about individual humans.  There's been
no discussion, and no consensus about expanding that.

Claiming an interpretation that computer programs have rights under a
code of conduct is more or less starting from a position that programs
have the same rights as people.

That's another unfair argument.  I'm sorry you were mistreated, but
jumping from that to "mistreatment of non-human entities is not ok" is
an unsupportable leap.

I disagree.  Certainly spam is unwelcome, but in a space intended for
human interaction, it is fair to object to the presence of bots even if
they are not spamming.
