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. """

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.
