Except that proposing foundational document ammendments is not for the meek.
If someone steps up and publically proposes something that has, among
other things[1], consequences that are negative towards someone else,
they should expect to hear objections, and that includes the hostile
ones as well. It would be downright ludicrous to expect that everyone
will be treading lightly in such a setting.[2]
Whether cas actually crossed the line in the amount of profanity, that's
debatable, but the "let's make everything better for the meek" program[3]
just isn't relevant to it.
