   This argumentation is absurd: clearly it is about one of these
   topics; Jose said he can't give his talk, because it violates the
   policy.

It is not absurd at all, can you explain _what_ is offensive, exactly?
Can you make a rational, strict and consistent decision, based on the
currently worded policy, that does not change between conference
organisers as to what is considered offensive?  

Of course you cannot.  But I can decide easily what side of the road
to drive on -- reading the policy I cannot decide anything because it
calls on what you (conference organiser) believe or thinks at that
particular moment.

Jose is known for crude humour in the GNU style, so not to be expelled
from the event he has to assume that his presentation is in violation
of the policy, because many GNU jokes _are_ offensive to people -- all
from the virgin Emacs, to enjoying rhinophytonecrophilia, to
St. IGNUcius blessing your computer -- people find the Free Software
song offensive!

Just to take and quote yet another joke from the Fun pages,
https://www.gnu.org/fun/jokes/dna.html, this to would get you kicked
out at any conference as well.
