There is a lot of value in diversity, if it is respected by all concerned. What I think needs saying is something like:
"We as a community value diversity of skills, talents and cultures. This is a strength and encourages tolerance towards other ideas and opinions, even if we may disagree at times. We value honest forthright discussion when it begins from a basis of mutual respect of all members of the community. Moreover, we wish at all times to be inclusive of other languages, cultures and opinions. "
I really like your formulation, I think we should use yours instead.
Thanks Peter :)
cheers
