There is some awful precedent you are trying to set up here. This sounds like you have to have measurable example of offense before you even dare raise the issue or people will sue the hell out of you. Also, they will blame you for causing the thing you are offended by in the first place. What role do we know the offended person took in all this? Did they simply raise an objection and the SFWA took it from there? If thats the case, its on SWFA not the person for reporting the objection.
There is another route though that should have been taken.
Follow the practices established by the policies of the group that you agreed to follow before taking it to public airing. Note I mean general you here.
The SWFA like any organization has complaint procedures in place. Had those actually been followed likely none of this would have happened.
It’s when people compleyetly ignore what they we’re supposed to do in the first place that all these kinds of overreactions could be avoided.
