No it's not! And do speak from experience. Mind you, nothing as stated in the lwn article but on a lower level.
After some hours of thinking it over I do think it is a good idea to state up front what we don't tolerate *if* we also make clear that each case will be jugded on an individual basis.
So, I guess your happy with the proposal that Jos made in this thread:
If an offence is perceived and a complaint comes in, we'll talk to the offender and offended. If the offender was not aware of the offensive nature of his/her action (and we have good reason to believe that) we'll simply ask him/her to refrain from the action in question. An appology would be appreciated or required (depending on what happened). I doubt anyone will have a problem with this and I would hope the incident will be closed at that point. Only in case of repeated (after warning) offences/inappropriate behavior or somebody clearly violating all social norms more severe actions like expelling would be considered. But as was noted, this hasn't happened in the past so this is not really relevant.
