Good point. Rereading the last part, sounds like the victim is always right and is actually not needed since the
nextparagraph 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
aminor 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
maintainergroup 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
changein their behavior or kick them out if we determine behavior change is not possible.
