You're being unfairly combative. I was supplying a different perspective you may not have considered, and you assumed it was a personal attack. It wasn't.

I don't think this will be a productive conversation. Let's just agree we feel differently about how words affect people and move on.

Didn't mean it that way, I knew you were not attacking me and I understood you were mediating perspectives and not really advocating for any. My response wasn't targeted at you just the generalities being discussed. But you're right that I just really do not like that the world in general has decided to grovel for the approval of the lowest common denominator. I shouldn't have to mince my words to that degree. I was just expressing how I feel like someone being affect in the way the GP was, amounts to a lack of reading comprehension if they read into my comment the way they did.
