I don't see it as Nanny Culture at all. Rather, I see it as an expression of the Constitutionally-protected right for private organizations and entities to set their own guidelines and policies regarding language. People forget that the ability of voluntary associations to regulate speech is part and parcel of the First Amendment. Because that's the thing: this site is a voluntary association. You don't have to be here. We're not trying to impose our values on you anywhere else, and certainly not anywhere you're compelled to be by law or whatnot. If you disagree with the policy, you're free to go elsewhere and swear to your heart's content.

I do appreciate though that you point out your willingness to abide by site policies even if you disagree with them. That's really all we're asking from anyone, and is a commendably mature response.
