Makes sense indeed. At least for the first guideline I quoted.

What about the second one?

	 If other participants complain about the way you express your ideas,
	 please make an effort to cater to them. You can find ways to express
	 the same points while making others more comfortable. You are more
	 likely to persuade others if you don't arouse ire about secondary
	 things.

This bug report started by a report from a user complaining about 3
specific sections of Gnus manual (Note in 3.15 Exiting Gnus, sex joke in
3.16 Group Topics, and sex joke in 8 Scoring).

While removing the problematic parts is not something we have to do
(they clearly mean no offence), what about rewriting them in such a way
that sex topic is avoided and yet the jokes are retained.

I am attaching a patch from another user with some jokes being rewritten
using different terms.
