I agree it should be high. I did not ask for or expect any banning
to occur and would oppose any such a proposal. However, a public
note that use of such stereotypes are offensive and not consistent
with the PSFs CoC/Diversity statement, a friendly reminder that the
community frowns of that kind of expression regardless of the status
of the person who made it, would be help maintain a common standard
of posting decency.
