And see there's the problem.  Because someone might possibly be offended 
by something everyone else needs to tiptoe around.  People really need 
to grow thicker skins or something the PC nutjobs have twisted things to 
such an extreme that legitimate harassment and horrid behavior are 
trivialized.

Reminds of me of the county that banned the computer terms master/slave 
(such as used by myth) because they were insensitive to "people of color".
