When this was a topic in University a few years ago, it was still very hard to properly detect humor, especially sarcasm. If I understood this correctly, this whole episode was kicked of by Stephen making a joke about some lady's attire. I don't know what would be worse; the sanctimonious fallout or his tweet being censored by an automatic insult detector in the first place. (actually I do: the second).

I was thinking about a tool, not a universal censor :) Something like a special place for notifications: "Hate mail" - some people with loads of noise replies would definitely appreciate that. Also offensive replies could be shown last when displaying tweet with replies, for example.
