Exactly. It's not about freedom; it's about damage to the trademark and to the general project. Anything else doesn't make any sense, because there will be as many ways to state what's "politically correct" as the amount of people to whom you ask an opinion.
We have a project and a result from it. If something damages it (as in this case) we must gather evidence of the financial damage involved. Anything else is ideological. The only quantitative approach you can get is money. Not very poetical, sure, but at least free it's free from ideology.
Can you, or anyone else, really come up with a formula that monetizes the alleged damages? I believe that the trademark and general project have an immune system that is strong enough to deal with these bacterial infections. There are better ways of dealing with a common cold or mosquito bite than with heroic actions that only serve to spread the infection. A single killer bee can inflict a nasty sting, but it takes a whole swarm to do any real damage.
You would probably do better looking at what rules there are on ro:wp for sourcing and reference. Civilized discussions accomplish more than edit wars, even when it seems at the beginning that one person has taken a completely outrageous stand.
