Rubbish. Just because the rest of the world is full of boors
doesn't mean we have to resort to such petty behaviour here.
There's a lot of garbage posted by nationally-syndicated and
staff writers. Mindlessly repeating much of that here would
be crass, too.
Bottom line: nobody can stop anyone using the word. But
deliberately using a perjorative and offensive term, despite
polite requests from other group members, is just ill-mannered.
