Um, you may have coalesced around v5, but I'm not sure there's consensus
there. I agree with Kevin that his version looks a lot more like a real
CoC. His is surely still amenable to some editing, but there are also
things in your version that we can do without. Particularly the "not
about being offended" line. That's pretty defensive and unwelcoming,
IMO, and that isn't the image we want to project here.
