There isn't a mention of any racist or sexist (eg homophobic)
limitations. Like everything else, the chances of any of this arising
remain small, but does anyone else think they deserve a specific
mention?

I would say that most (if not all) racist and sexist comments are

homophobic stuff - I've never been afraid of men.

I think they'd fall under abusive.  But mentioning them explicitly might be
a good idea.

Richard, have you seen/read/discovered something disturbing?
