Thanks Chandler, most of my comments were addressed. I just added a few comments, but it's mostly ok.

Too many people feel very strongly about this to warrant some more substantial changes.

I personally feel this is not so bad for two things:

1. It says "may affect", not "will affect". Not a very strong point per se, but strong enough given point two.

2. Being unfair in the evaluation and punishment of cases like that would go directly against this very code. Blocking someone because they were seen with a silly T-shirt in their Facebook pictures will be a clear case of bullying, and thus could be reported by this very code.

If the committee is really serious about bullying, then the committee will put itself on the list of potential offenders, and they should be judged in the same manner.

If they don't, than we have much bigger problems that the code itself...

I don't feel strongly about this. "might" seems worse than "is", I think.

When related to witnesses, this is a cultural issue.

Unless there is a criminal investigation going, people in some countries (including the UK) feel *very* uncomfortable to be included in someone's else personal discussion. Doing so would clearly be marked as bullying and violate the CoC.

If we want people in other countries to also feel safe, we need to word in a way that they can understand their cultural issues will make them feel safe.
