Ok. I see what you are saying, but still, I feel it is like asking everyone to be a Gandhi and not react to anyone and it might just not be possible for everyone. In the end, it lets an offensive poster get by (by choosing words little more carefully to fall under civility guidelines but with actual intention of hurting), but it ends up punishing people who mean well and want to be polite, but just because of some slight reaction on their end - (not with reference to the current situation, but as a general observation that I have made).
