Sure.

Hmm.  Trolling can be helpful, if done right.  I consider this to be a
good example: https://git-man-page-generator.lokaltog.net/.  Wrote some
texts that look like that..

I don't mind insults.  Perhaps that's a cultural thing.  I don't
necessarily need them, though.

"Personal and political attacks" sound really scary and don't seem to
match trolling and insulting in severity.  Perhaps I don't understand
the intended meaning.  In any case, I also wouldn't want anyone to be
beaten up or swatted, get a lower social credit score or be forced out
of public office over participation in our project.

Right.

Good.

This is very vague.  It could match eating at your desk, tipping, not
tipping, not wearing a tie, or talking back to a senior developer.
