And I don't really have a problem using a word in the right context, unlike you though I understand the desire to not use it. I also see it as a good thing to chose words that are meant to avoid conflict. To use neutral terms. To choose the less loaded, to choose the least offensive, to negative connotation.

There are people who object to any term that doesn't give a connotation that reinforces their own opinions. And there are people who want to discuss ideas without having to use loaded words to make their point. So it goes.

In the end people will look back and see and I can't tell you what they'll think because I cannot predict the future. I can only hope what's said here isn't censored for future generations so that whatever their society is like, they'll have a better understanding of ours.
