If I take your argument to its logical conclusion, all of Debian's rules can be demotivating when people ignore them, so we should get rid of them all so your feelings are safe.

This makes more sense to me.  It is completely understandable that how things are communicated affects how people feel about them.  This is a difficult thing to get right.  I have experienced similar demotivating conversations in Debian myself.

Everyone in Debian is already bound by the code of conduct already, so it seems redundant to add it here again.  While I agree with the principle you are trying to address, I think this change unnecessarily clutters the DPT document and we should not make it.
