I did a somewhat radical edit of the policy. To me it sounded
heavy-handed, and I didn't think that we needed such in our community. I
also want to distinguish between "bloopers" that need correction and
active harassment. A lot of discriminatory language is unconscious but
still should be gently corrected. [1]
I also don't think that these are "rules" -- a policy is a policy, and I
think rules is too strong a term.
Because of the amount that I changed (and because I really wasn't sure
what would happen when I hit "save") these changes are still in my "fork":

Let me know if I should commit it (and I'm assuming that's just a matter
of hitting the "commit" button).
