Why is bad and offensive language tolerated on this mailing list and on IRC?
It is not tolerated.
Whatever the reason.

Jean-Baptiste, with respect, rudeness and offensive language _is_
tolerated on this mailing list — as measured by the lack of community
norm enforcement when rudeness appears, and by the lack of visible
punishment to those who are rude. I think it is especially important for
the person with "President" after their name to have a clear idea of the
actual behaviour of the group.
You are the best at attempting to enforce community norms. In a few
recent threads, you have responded to rudeness by saying that rude
behaviour is not welcome. That is good. You announced recently that you
kicked a person off IRC as a consequence of their rude behaviour there.
That is good. However, it is very mild compared to what I think should
happen.
None of the multiple instances of rudeness on this list in the last few
weeks has been met with a wide-spread public rebuke. None have resulted
in a list member being suspended from the list, or having their code
commit authority suspended.
Rudeness and offensive language is against the _rules_ of this list and
of IRC, but it is clearly "tolerated". I wish it were not. I am hopeful
that setting up the community governance, and forming councils with
authority to deal with bad behaviour, will improve the situation.
