For those curious about the infraction, here is the relevant portion of the Edinburgh University Safe Space Policy:

6. All members are expected to conduct themselves in a manner which is respectful and considerate of the contributions of others. This is defined as:
   1. Allowing Council members to speak when called upon by the chair.
   2. Refraining from speaking over, interrupting, heckling, laughing at or otherwise distracting from the speaker who holds the floor.
   3. Refraining from hand gestures which denote disagreement or in any other way indicating disagreement with a point or points being made. Disagreements should only be evident through the normal course of debate.
   4. Avoiding using gestures which are not generally known or accepted by Council.
   5. Gestures indicating agreement are permissible, if these gestures are generally understood and not used in an intimidating manner.
   6. Applause is acceptable when a motion is passed only, not if a motion fails to pass. Otherwise, agreement should be made clear within debate contributions.

Refraining from hand gestures which denote disagreement...

Gestures indicating agreement are permissible...

That sums it up in a nutshell.

I guess “fisting” oneself as an expression of opposition to something is not permitted, unless you have to get a “permit” to fist yourself, or the guy in front of you.

PC colleges are really getting to be a pain in the ass.
