Not necessarily!

I believe this subthread is about the situation of some example hypothetical person being a user of a project in which there are "bad" things going on (whether or not there is a CoC in place that is being violated).
This user is not the one perpetrating abuse.
Say that user reports some problem and is treated abusively or whatever. Or just learns about that kind of thing going on in the project, and disagrees with it.
So question is, why would that user continue to use such a project.
Well, there is the answer: people depend on stuff in ways that they just can't drop it because of someone's behavior.
