Now what do you do?

You kick the problem over to your (trained) ombudsman.

Ok. Fair. 

I wasn't trying to make light of the issue, I'm just worried that some folk 
might try and use this to stop discussions that they are not actually feeling 
harassed by. 
I don't have any better text to suggest -- I was thinking something like 
"Participants asked to stop a behavior that a reasonable person might view as  
harassment are expected to comply immediately." or something, but it feels like 
it is missing something...
