Obviously. I am, for example, offended that you didn't take the time to run a spell-checker on your post, but obviously that's not going to get you banned.
However, the blatant lack of consistency is confusing if nothing else. The prime example being the use of the word 'Penis' in any context. The alliance of that name was censored, but galaxies have had complaints about the censorship in their name without being closed, and I've seen several fleets in a similar vein. I don't object to these, but I find the inconsistency disconcerting.
There isn't a contradiction between publishing (or even having) guidelines and using personal judgment in particular cases. I'd also recommend that you start using some other language than 'offensive', because content can be decidedly PG and remain offensive, while non-offensive content can be adult in nature.
