I think it can be safely said that we have gotten over the question about having a CoC. Regardless of whatever it says, the CoC should be clear about what kinds of behavior are inappropriate, and the consequences of such behavior. In both instances, it's better to try to delineate the categories explicitly, yet allowing for judgmental leeway. We're not making the Ten Commandments, but at the same time they do a good job of indicating which behaviors are not proper without specific examples. We also should keep in mind that there are potential issues of privacy involved with examples based on real incidents. People who blog about such things don't always consider this.
