(36,437 posts)He would be asked to leave, immediately, and not invited back. Ditto c-word, f-word, and other slurs that actually hurt people. Maybe I'd make up in time, but being told to get the fuck out and not come back for that type of behavior is not unusual or cruel, and it happens every day in our actual lives. People cut off family members for shit like this, much less some schmoe on the Internet. Besides, the c-word incident was simply the straw that broke the camel's back for NYC SKP. His behavior had been atrocious for months, if not years.
Sometimes, we say enough is enough. All communities do. Y'all can mourn your friend (he's not actually dead, you know?). I'm going to be happy to be in a "party" where that type of behavior gets you sent the fuck out. You don't have to go home, but you can't stay here. And I'm comfortable having the same measure applied to me.
