Please point out which parts of Emacs documentation are

I'm not convinced. Expressions of personal feelings are often cast in
cultural terms local to the author and may be enhanced for another
area by using another wording. Of course, it could not be expressed
as their feelings any more, but it could be used to invoke similar
emotions in a different audience.
This is an underexplored field, I think.
I do not think these personal feeling are hurting people.
If an expression of personal feeling cannot hurt people if it wants
to, it's poor writing and a good candidate for enhancement. Oh, wait
;-)
As I already said, would you like the GPL or the DFSG to be variant?
Yes, but the expression of DFSG already seems to be, although the idea
is not.
