Thank you. This is a valid point and I wouldn't want anyone to have the
impression that they are obligated to help anyone. If you have a concrete
proposal for a wording, I'd be curious to hear it (while keeping the
"positive" form of supportiveness. I'd like to add more positive examples to
the CoC so that it's not just "don't do this", but also "do this").
kind regards,
