It seems to me that the above paragraph is too long, especially
considering that the following points are crisp short single sentences.
Also, why repeat the phrase "safe, respectful, productive, and
collaborative"?
My suggestion -- make two paragraphs:
This document provides community guidelines for
creating and enforcing a safe, respectful, productive, and
collaborative place. Every contributor is expected to support these
goals.
The guidelines apply to all "collaborative space", which is defined as
community
communications channels (such as mailing lists, IRC, submitted
patches, commit comments, etc.).

I recall someone earlier mentioning the benefit of keeping discussions
on topic.
And it seems to me that that only views actually expressed are of
concern.
So I would offer the following revision:
* We are tolerant of people’s right to express opposing views relevant
to the success of the project.

> of personal attacks and disparaging personal remarks.
