OK, insults should be out of the question but who defines the inappropriateness of a joke? That varies between cultures.

IMO a policy should be impartial, subjective terms will not help
Then you can NEVER have a policy against inproper behavior because the whole CONCEPT of improper behavior depends on subjective grounds. Actually, all of ethics is subjective, unless you ask God or Allah or another Deity to decide (and you'll have to interpret that too). So this is not a useful argument and that has been said 20 times in this thread already as well as in the FAQ on the site. Can we please get out of philosophy mode and talk about any concrete improvements? If there are none, then let's stop the discussion and we'll have a policy.
