If I take your argument to its logical conclusion, all of Debian's rules can be demotivating when people ignore them, so we should get rid of them all so your feelings are safe.
I agree that it was my mistake to not follow team policy. I should not
have done this and I apologized for this. I should have written this
e-mail first to change a policy that does not fit my experiences in
other teams as well as what obviously several contributors consider
inappropriate. To solve this I started this discussion and meanwhile
created a MR[1].
The demotivating part was the wording to point me to the policy. I
addressed this with the words "I wonder whether I should propose another
change to the policy about maintaining a kind and polite language inside
the team - but that's a different thing." in my initial mail[2].
To make sure this will really clear I added the proposed change in a
second MR[3] containing the following diff:
--- a/policy.rst
+++ b/policy.rst
@@ -169,6 +169,16 @@ To be merged, a policy update needs the approval of at least one team
administrator.
