Mateusz,

I recommend that you not go down a rabbit hole of offering up 
hypothetical examples of what people might say and then ask us 
moderators to predict whether it will or will not evoke a complaint from 
someone else in the community. As for proactive responses from the 
moderators (i.e., responses initiated without a complaint from someone 
in the community), those will occur in the event of aggressive or 
abusive discourse. I don't think you need an explanation of what that 
means.

In a nutshell, moderation is being imposed on the lists in order to 
ensure that the dialogues on the list reflect respect for members of the 
community, and that arguments are dispassionate, i.e., are not written 
in a manner that will tend to evoke negative reactions. Whether this or 
that statement will deeply offend another community member is something 
we shall have to wait and see to determine, case by case. If you want a 
rule of thumb, be polite! Be respectful!

Please also bear in mind that the moderators will examine complaints 
case by case. If a frivolous complaint comes to the moderators, it will 
in all likelihood be treated as frivolous.

cheers,
Allan Mustard
