Dan, as far back as 2013, the IESG adopted, and the IETF accepted, a 
policy on anti-harrassment that recognizes that speech can be harmful.
It seems clear to me that the community disagrtees with your perspective 
on this.
And the community clearly has the right and responsibility to set 
behavioral standards for its members.

Yours,
Joel
