Disrespectful language and obscentity disqualify only those that use
them. Ignoring them is the right thing to do, IMO.
I would not like having rules to forbit these because those rules would
disqualify the project.
But I will accept a note the is considered correct to ignore such
messages and the suggestion to don't reply them.
I have noticed some interesting ideas in some messages, but their
language convinced me that they were not worth of my attention.
