Sounds like he has matured. He isn’t the first and won’t be the last to become more professional as he gets older. If that’s not what is going on here then I hope at least to show an alternative way a policy such as this could be interpreted.

I wouldn't judge a person for who they were, I would judge them for who they have become. People learn and people grow. To get life experience, you need to spend... life.
Back in the day when you forked a repo on Github, it said "intense forking action". Sometimes people don't TRY to be offensive, they just want to be funny. Mix in immaturity and stir. But, given my example, should we never ever use Github again?

It seems pretty well connected to "raunchy stand up comedy about farts and sex", which was proposed by a different commenter as an analogue to politics. If you object to the analogy, perhaps you should debate it with the person who made it.
