 From the article (the furthest point I read in it):

That is the word used by the article *you* linked to, in reference to 
me. If it offends you enough to be accused of *calling* someone that, 
just imagine how I felt being *called* that very same name.

Seriously, I don't make it a habit of being offended by random people on 
the Internet, but this is more a conscious decision than a naturally 
thick skin. Seeing that label hurt.

Don't worry. I've been on the Internet since 1991. That's longer than 
the median age here (i.e. - I've been on the Internet since before most 
of you have been born). I've had my own fair share of flame wars, 
include some that, to my chagrin, I've started.

In other words, I got over it. I did not reply, big though the 
temptation was.

But the right time to be sensitive about what words are being used was 
*before* you linked to the article. Taking offense from being called out 
for calling someone something you find offensive is hypocritical.

I never understood the focus on words. It's not the use of that word 
that offended me, it's the fact that you thought anything I did 
justified using it. I don't think using "cattle excrement" instead would 
have been any less hurtful.

And it's not that the rest of your post was thoughtful, considerate and 
took pains to give constructive criticism, with or without hurting 
anyone's feelings. It's just that it doesn't seem to be that part 
bothers you.
