why not > 3. A safe, respectful, productive and collaborative environment is free of ad hominem. (Tip: Ask your self "Would I make this same comment if my best friend or parent stated what I was replying to" if you're unsure.) The tip being optional, of course :-p I don't see why we need to limit comments like in the original: that's not the point! The point is that people shouldn't be attacked! 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. It definitely needs to be rephrased or built on. What is the point of this, by the way? If we state that personal attacks are unbecoming of a member of this group, then does it matter if I'm offended when someone says we should have a table that lacks 1-M 1-F constraints for marriage? It's not an attack and trying to clarify the differences between being offended because of an attack on me or just in general might make things too awkward to write.
