I want to be clear here. This has literally nothing to do with what does or does not offend me personally, this is a simple matter of enforcing the rules of the boards. The rules of the forum are purposefully lenient. The goal is to let people express themselves as freely as possible within reason. We have no interest in "political correctness", "safe spaces" or acquiescing to anyone's hypersensitivity at how open or closed the rules are. At the same time that is not a welcome mat to use any and every term or phrase that may cross someones mind. Note that ad hominem and personal attacks are expressly forbidden
in the rules. All uses of purposefully or unintentionally derogatory terms based on any group (race, religion, sexual orientation, or handicap) as if they are, in themselves, somehow synonymous with a negative trait fall under that heading. Realistically there are quite a few other (and more accurate) ways to express the sentiment you were after.
