I am sure you know plenty of people who agree with you and you also know plenty who would disagree with you. This is not a popularity contest or an election. This is a discussion to figure out what kind of policies can be put in place to handle incidents of harassment in a way that is safe for the victim and that is welcoming to a broader audience. The answer to most of your other questions is that it is up to the event organizers as to what what constitutes a "good" Code of Conduct and then it is up to potential attendees to decide if it is something they are comfortable with. Is your concern that having a Code of Conduct will scare away more attendees than it might reassure and attract? malachi
