but I just got a 14 day ban for making a joke about Utah Mormons. I asked what the difference is between a joke / poking fun / good natured ribbing and an "attack". His response was that there is no difference.

Yet back in April, when I got a similar ban for an "attack", I reported abuse on a post that was making fun of Texans. He added 7 days for wasting mods time. And told me that the Texas thing was just a joke.

So which is it? Is there such a thing as "good natured ribbing" or are they all attacks? If there IS a difference, a list of protected groups and those that are okay to engage in "good natured ribbing" would be very useful.
