I still think we need the examples which is why I sent this a few minutes ago:

""" A safe, respectful, productive and collaborative environment is free
of non-technical or personal comments related to gender, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size or race. """


Moreover,

2. The CoC is not about being offended.The act of being offended is
purely a recipient response and usually the offended individual is more
interested in being a victim than moving forward.

is very harsh.

So is life. We aren't here to wipe butts and change a diaper. However, yes I do agree that it is harsh. The point is really in relation to #6, the CoC is not about Social Justice.

There are people in this community, people I know personally who will abuse this CoC if it is not exceedingly clear that their ability to be offended is not relevant.

Sincerely,

JD
