Hmm... calling that "mere" glosses over some important differences in
meaning.
IMHO:
Censorship means controlling which ideas get propagated,
Policing only controls what you do -- abusive language, disruptive
behavior, belittling others, etc.
Not being a participant in #debian, I don't know which is more of a
problem, nor whether the kind of sexism we're talking about would be
covered by the latter.
