1. I did not say I was offended. I said it was vile rhetoric. It does
   not personally offend me, but that does not mean I want to see it
   being circulated on these kinds of mailing lists.

2. Even if it did, so what? Per the Debian Mailing Lists’ Code of
   Conduct, a superset of Debian’s. Off-topic and unwelcoming content is
   against those. Even if it wasn’t explicitly written down as a rule,
   though, the decent response to “don’t send unwelcoming content” isn’t
   “I’m sorry you’re so sensitive” but “sorry, I won’t do it again”. So
   kindly act decently or don’t contribute.
