Putting myself in the shoes of the forum owner / manager / moderator, the problem I see is that it's a difficult situation.

Ideologically I'm firmly opposed to censorship, political correctness and coddling of the mind in general. It's far better to get the truth out than to hide it just to avoid upsetting anyone.

However we're living in a society where that's increasingly rejected by many. A situation where "being offended" is seen as a problem, a serious one even, and not simply a statement of fact with no further consequence. I don't agree with that even slightly but it is what it is.

From there it's a question of what's best for the forum?

Noting that I don't have a definitive answer to that.
