Are we trying to make a more friendly/welcoming site?

To be clear: the use of “hate speech” in the CoC isn’t intended to include “disagreeing with someone else’s worldview”. I also disagree that it’s come to mean that, but that’s beside the point. Clarifying it is no bad thing.

Building on @luap42, @cellio, and @Scortchi’s suggestions now: if you look up the dictionary definition of “hate speech”, it comes back as something along the lines of “abusive or threatening speech expressing prejudice against a group”. What if we used something like “[…not okay:] • threatening, abusive, or prejudicial treatment of a person or group”?
