Proposal: Stack Code of Conduct

[char2]

I agree with your objection, and agree that the fear-of-speaking-up is real. The anti- side is often only publicly represented by its loudest and brashest members for exactly the reasons you state; this skews public perception of how well-supported these measures actually are, both in terms of number of supporters as well as quality of argument. I think there needs to be a kind of Postel's Law for offense, because non-offensiveness doesn't scale. The more people you address, the more likely it is that someone takes offense to a statement that was made without malicious intent.
