I agree it should be high.  I did not ask for or expect any banning 
to occur and would oppose any such a proposal.  However, a public
note that use of such stereotypes are offensive and not consistent 
with the PSFs CoC/Diversity statement, a friendly reminder that the 
community frowns of that kind of expression regardless of the status 
of the person who made it, would be help maintain a common standard 
of posting decency.
