You say that as if it were a fact, yet it is demonstrably not true. I know quite a few people who would find it just as offensive if used in general as they would if you directed it at them.

I have to say, this is pretty perplexing. I can't recall anyone who has ever objected this much to the site language policy, including some people who were banned for violating it. Is it really that awful that we ask people to step the behavior up a notch or two if they want to contribute? You'd think we were violating someone's civil rights or something...
