I think that's the whole idea behind "Please be civil"'s or blocks too. That they are addressed to particular actions, not to people per se.
I actually feel a bit uncomfortable discussing fuzzymind without his being part of the conversation.
But I do propose an addition to the civility guidelines that defines bigoted or racist statements as uncivil under the rules of the site. That removes some of the personal quality from any disciplinary action, and forestalls a discussion of intent or overall feelings towards a race or religion, etc. The statements would be considered uncivil, not the poster.
