Good point.  Rereading the last part,  sounds  like the victim is always right 
and is actually not needed since the next paragraph addresses it.  So how is 
this:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We expect of everyone in our spaces to try their best to do the same in a kind 
and gentle manner. If you feel it's just a minor offense and the person didn't 
mean harm by it, 
simply ignore it unless the pattern of talk continues. 

If anyone makes you feel uncomfortable and you feel they are purposely 
antagonistic please notify the project maintainer group at ... with the 
specific occurrence and evidence that made you feel this way.
We will judge if your complaints are valid and if we deem they are valid we 
will talk with the person to affect a change in their behavior or kick them out 
if we determine behavior change is not possible.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks,
Regina
