There is not a batch of editors who are going around bullying people in the CC area.
Sorry for sounding like a broken record but... you're just not very observant. Or blinded by something. Or deliberately not seeing what is there. If it was just me that felt that there are (insert your favorite C word here [1] )-ish groups in various contentious areas that enforce the "house POV" I'd certainly look at what I was seeing and wonder if it wasn't there.
But it's not just me[2]. About the only people who don't see it are those who are in the very same (insert your favorite C word here[1])-ish groups and use denial of what the rest of us know as a control tactic, the naive, and the clueless.
Which are you? That's what I can't figure. I'm an optimist so I'm going with naive.

2 - see MZMcBride's view in that farce you started. And think about who all signed it. NOT just "denyers", inconveniently.
