As discussed, some thoughts and language in regard to people reacting to potential CoC breaches that could in themselves, be interpreted, in bad faith, as CoC breaches. An example of this would be Person A being told to "feic off" or "get in the sea" or similar
by Person B in response to something racist, sexist, demeaning etc. that Person A said to Person B.</div>
