Thanks for your reply, I'll have to give it more thought. I agree with most of it though. > You and other proponents of leaving offensive language intact I was/am actually in favor of removing said language because I want language to be welcoming towards people and people are clearly taking offense. > And who has determined that is not an actual problem? Or that this is not effective or helpful? You? No, I am in no way able to determine that. And I really hope it is helpful.

After writing my post, I thought again about directing my arguments at you specifically. It was maybe too personal and assumptive. I think I got too defensive. Anyway, I appreciate that you read what I wrote and chose to keep in the conversation.

  Thank you. After reading my initial comment and having given it some thought I think I need to reconsider some of my points. I really like how ljm put it in this comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23509854 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23509854
