"All attendees are expected to treat all people and facilities
with respect and help create a welcoming environment. "
"Sometimes this means we need to work harder to ensure we're
creating an environment of trust and respect where all who come
to participate feel comfortable and included."
(aside: does this include attendees who are also FSF members?)
"Respect yourself, and respect others. Be courteous to those
around you."

Calling people crazy bigots is a fine way of treating people
with respect and creating a welcoming atmosphere. Duly noted.
Perhaps my command of the English language is not as good as I
have assumed, not being a native speaker. But the excerpts above did
seem to have been stretched, if not crossed, in that session.

ps: I personally was not offended, having developed a fairly thick skin
over the years. But there were people who were offended, and the CoC
seems to be fairly explicit. Perhaps the language of the CoC need to be
toned down to better fit what seems to be acceptable behaviour
