But after reviewing the issue, I find that by posting a repudiation of a vulgar word, that does not include repudiating the insult to Judaism and those other faiths that is plainly visible in the post in question. For one to think that, could not then those thinkers have to jump to a conclusion? And anyway, just because there could be a subset of readers just a little bit smarter than me, that does not mean that intelligence is what could have those in that subset think that repudiating a vulgar word automatically repudiate everything else that the poster wrote in other posts by the poster.

You wrote,[...the goal of the policy is to respond to incivility and at the same time not to make those who have been uncivil feel too accused or put down...].
I am unsure as to what you are wanting readers to think from that. If you could post answers to the following, then I could have the opportunity to respond accordingly.
True or False:
A. The good that comes to the community by me and my deputies of record not sanctioning the anti-Semitic statement, Lou, is that the author of the post could feel good that I allowed it to stand un repudiated.
B. The good that could come to the community by me and my deputies of record allowing the anti-Semitic statement to remain un repudiated, Lou, is that others could see that support takes precedence as my policy states, so it is supportive to leave the anti-Semitic statement unsanctioned.
C. The good that could come to the community by me and my deputies of record not sanctioning the anti-Semitic statement, Lou, is that posters are to be civil at all times, so being civil at all times means that I will not sanction anti-Semitic posts because it could make the author of the anti-Semitic statement feel too put down which would be uncivil.
D. The good that could come to the community by me and my deputies of record leaving the anti-Semitic statement unsanctioned, is that I give a higher priority to the feelings of those that post anti-Semitic statements than to the tragic consequences that could come to a subset of readers by seeing that I have not sanctioned the anti-Semitism so that they could think that posting anti-Semitism is not against my rules.
E. The good that could come to the community by me and my deputies of record allowing the anti-Semitic statement to stand, Lou, is that since one match could start a forest fire, the fire of hate indicated by the anti-Semitic statement being allowed by us is not as great a concern to us as the feelings of the poster that posted the anti-Semitic statement.
F. The classic argument that a child that killed his parents should be allowed to escape punishment because he is now an orphan, applies to this situation also, Lou.
G. something else.
