I feel like that would just be avoiding the issue (burying my head in the sand, so to speak).

That Code of Conduct feels more like it is about burying someone else's head in the sand:

> Have you considered, that they are either having a bad day, are a bad listener, or possibly, you are wrong?

Uh, yeah, great advice to have in the FAQ for what is supposedly your anti-harassment policy. -_-

One of several red flags. Another thing that set off alarm bells was the strawman reference to penis slang. That's not something I've ever seen referenced by someone who is serious about having a conversation about codifying personal conduct expectations.

I mean, kind of the point is to tell people who demand CoC's to piss off. So... sort of?
