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

""" A safe, respectful, productive and collaborative environment is free

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,

abuse this CoC if it is not exceedingly clear that their ability to be
offended is not relevant.
