Thank you for this! I take it as a form of "Reductio ad absurdum" [1] which shows how difficult it would be to police our lists in a way that preserves the diversity of opinions and communications style that is our strength. And makes us inclusive of different ways of thinking. While I'm a polite guy 99.999% of the time, political correctness can be very boring and stifle healthy debate. I hope that's not what's happening here but I'm a bit worried right now. -Bertrand [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reductio_ad_absurdum
