Yes. This sounds better.

The CoC was designed to communicate that harassment is never OK in
Ubuntu. It is also designed to make it clear that forms of
inconsiderate and disrepectful behavior that might not rise to the
level of harassment are also not OK. It's hard for me to imagine that
harassment of any form could somehow also be desribed as respectful.

Of course, if having the word "harassment" in the document clarifies a
real misconception that this could somehow ever be OK under the code
and/or makes it more clear that it's something Ubuntu won't tolerate,
then adding this is definitely a good thing.

Mako
