Why not the Ruby CoC? It's short enough, and in my opinion provides the 
proper guidelines:
----

This document provides community guidelines for a safe, respectful, 
productive, and collaborative place for any person who is willing to 
contribute to the Ruby community. It applies to all “collaborative 
space”, which is defined as community communications channels (such as 
mailing lists, submitted patches, commit comments, etc.).

      Participants will be tolerant of opposing views.

      Participants must ensure that their language and actions are free 
of personal attacks and disparaging personal remarks.

      When interpreting the words and actions of others, participants 
should always assume good intentions.

      Behaviour which can be reasonably considered harassment will not 
be tolerated.

----
As you said, there are many options to choose from, so why not the 
shortest/simplest?
