Perhaps it would.   And all other things being equal, a simpler fix is
attractive.  But I don't know why others seem to insist on "professional".

Keith

In the context of the document under discussion, I think “uncivil” is what is needed and might translate better to other languages and societies. 

In my opinion, “professional” includes technical and ethical context that are unnecessary for particular usage. That is, any kind of “uncivil commentary, regardless of the general subject” is inappropriate on the IETF mailing list.

Nevertheless, of course IETF participants should act in a professional manner, but that isn’t the issue for that bullet.
