Well, except that a few people here said that they felt insulted in the past and didn't know what to do about it. And some expressed the need of some kind of code of conduct... William even said he knew some people had left because of some bad behavior. So just saying "everthing is fine because we are all nice people" is not solving the problem. It's true that we're mostly good and everything goes fine most of time. As Nathann said, this very conversation proves we're note that bad. But we shouldn't just ignore the fact that we're not perfect. Everyone of us can be offensive to somebody at some point.
I'm not saying the code of conduct would prevent people from insulting each other. I'm just saying that it could give a common base to tell someone "you're being out of line". I'm pretty sure, this would be enough most of the time.
