I'd say the relevant policy sections are

http://freenode.net/policy.shtml#offtopic ("In accordance with UK law freenode 
and the PDPC have no tolerance for any activity which could be construed as 
[...] or any other behaviour meant to deliberately bring upon a person 
harassment, alarm or distress")

http://freenode.net/policy.shtml#topicalchannels ("These channels should not 
be used as platforms for flaming and trolling")

The latter specifically refers to "##" channels; however it seems obvious that 
if such behaviors are not acceptable on them, they're even less so on 
primary "#" channels.

I should probably point out that these policies have previously been enforced, 
perhaps in an even stricter way than the letter suggests.
