>And it’s true that they’re (as far as I know) consistently applying a rule they set out a long time ago.

Have they ever enforced this rule in the past? If not, it's difficult to speak of consistency.

I think it also hinges on whether or not previous players have made “offensive” statements before.

If it’s only happened once and they’ve punished it once, I think that’s as consistent as possible.

Although of course there’s a lot wriggle room re definition of “offensive”, which muddies the waters.
