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.
