I think it's fair to say everyone involved in this discussion would find 
that a ridiculous conclusion.  I personally am not too worried by the 
current wording, but are there particular changes which would set your 
mind at ease?  Several folks have raised concerns about the section 
which reads "In addition, violations of this code outside these spaces 
may affect a person's ability to participate within them."  Is that the 
one that gives you pause?   Or is there more? Pointing to specific 
pieces of wording would be really helpful here.

FYI, several folks have expressed specific concern about that particular 
wording.  If we can find wording which rephrases that to address the 
concern while retaining the intent, that seems like an obvious thing to 
fix.
