  >> data-raped > Please don't dilute the meaning of words like this. It's a bad term, but telling people how to speak provoke's backlash and resentment. It's more effective to explain the effect phrases like this have on people (as you did) and let them make their own decision then telling them to not say it.

And don't you even try arguing that your problem isn't directly with me, but your concern is that others reading my post might get the wrong end of it.

      It was just a bit of hyperbole. Do you feel equally outraged to condemn "murder" if anybody uses the verb "kill"?
