I think this has been covered elsewhere, but let me hit a couple of what 
I see as key cases:
1) Person A makes a documented serious physical threat against Person B 
who is a member of the LLVM community.  Person A does not then get to 
come into the community and continue harassing Person B.  We can and 
could say Person A is not welcome; at minimum, all of Person A's 
communications should be moderated.
2) Person A has multiple convictions for sexual assault or other violent 
crime.  Person A does not get to attend LLVM events.
3) Person A (an existing LLVM contributor) takes a technical discussion 
from LLVM with Person B into an alternate channel so as to personally 
attack person B without being subject to CoC. Workaround does not work, 
still a violation of CoC.
4) Person A uses CoC to attack Person B based on Person B's stated 
political views in an outside venue.  Person B has always followed CoC 
in LLVM interactions and has keep personal politics separate. Person A 
(who may not even be a member of the community) could be found in 
violation of the CoC and banned from our spaces.

Just to be clear, my (3,4) are of a substantially different form and 
severity than (1,2).   And, as always, I speak only for myself.
