I don't like that, but can live with it. But please clarify if that includes
things like '%$&!' where people don't type a particular swear word, but
indicate they are swearing and perhaps also cases where a particular
swear is indicated, but not spelled out (e.g. f'ing).

We could use shunning. When people say things you (the general you, not you
in particular) don't like, rather than start longs threads of name calling,
you just stop responding to them.

I'd expect that Red Hat employees would be more likely to behave because their
employer has leverage over them and incentive to get its employees to behave
to help the project.

Anyway, I'd rather see language where 'Red Hat' doesn't appear at all in the
enforcement guidelines.
