Why would you think FLOSS community > is somehow different from the wider community? No, you have a burden of proof that "our" culture (whatever this "our" is supposed to mean, I have no idea where you live and you have no idea where I live) has a serious issue with harassment.

You cannot accidentally stalk someone. Stalkers who are not aware they are harassing have a mental disorder. Calling them harassers is against the terms of the CC because it is discrimination by disability. See how easy it is to break the terms of the CC? > You're conflating harassment and offense here.

I also disagree with the implication that harassment > complaints might be weapons used by a nefarious competing party. People are putting their careers on the line even by having this discussion in the first place. There is a reason why I am using a pseudonym. I have provided links to the other guy of people who had their jobs ruined under the pretense of a CoC. The people who made the accusations never ended up filling the void themselves, they only go around destroying. > If you don't mind me asking, what are you afraid of? See above.
