I have read the post in question. In fact, I read it as it was written. However, as for the rules of conduct in your University, I can see that you and I would differ in our interpretations of that as well.
I am in total agreement that the remarks in questions were part of a vented frustration. I just believe that regardless of the context, it was still a racial slur that WAS offensive to others. In fact, the civility rule you have administered specifically prohibits posts that will make other posters feel "put down" or offended directly. That, in fact, is exactly what the post did.
My question was not asking for the understanding of the post, it was asking for your understanding of this whole issue.
Thank you in advance for considering this message.
