Please find a comment inline about a choice of word that makes me uncomfortable.
I take the opportunity to say that while I don't personally feel the need for it, because I haven't personally witnessed that the community has not been welcoming, the simple fact that some people don't feel comfortable without making this explicit through a CoC is enough for me to fully support the initiative. Outside of the exact wording, I trust the community to refer to the CoC with discernment.

Can you remove the word "Repeated" please?
Harassment is by definition *repeated* as far as I know, unless it is a US vs non-US thing?
A quick google search tends to comfort me in my view that other CoC I looked at are twisting the word by removing this (important IMO) component:
http://geekfeminism.wikia.com/wiki/Harassment : "any form of **repeated** behaviour intended to intimidate a person or make them feel unwelcome or uncomfortable" and "**repeated** interactions with a person after they have made it clear that further interaction is unwelcome"
http://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/harassment : the act of **systematic and/or continued** unwanted and annoying actions
http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/harass "to annoy or bother (someone) in a **constant or repeated** way" and "to make *repeated* attacks against (an enemy)"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harassment "It is commonly understood as behaviour which disturbs or upsets, and it is **characteristically repetitive**" and " Sexual harassment refers to **persistent** and unwanted sexual advances"
Not having this characteristic implies that a one-time behavior that offend someone is considered as harassment, which I disagree with.
May I suggest an edition along these lines:
```
**Be careful in the words that you choose and be kind to others.** Do not
insult or put down other participants. Exclusionary behavior aren't
acceptable. This includes, but is not limited to:
* Violent threats or language directed against another person.
* Discriminatory jokes and language.
* Posting sexually explicit or violent material.
* Posting (or threatening to post) other people's personally identifying
information ("doxing").
* Personal insults, especially those using racist or sexist terms.
* Unwelcome sexual attention.
* Advocating for, or encouraging, any of the above behavior.
In general, if someone asks you to stop, then stop. Persisting in such a
behavior after being asked to stop is considered harassment.
