That's the good that came out of it for me. We were only able to handle the situation the way that we did because we had a good code of conduct in place. We've since reworked and rewritten that to be even more clear. Plus we now have a reputation of not putting up with people's shit which doesn't solve the problem but shifts it to less outspoken community organizations.

That's why I'm a big fan of positively worded codes of conduct. Somehow "We will respect other's 'no' and endeavor to clearly communicate our own boundaries" (an exhortation) rings different than "don't touch people without permission" (a prohibition).
