This thread is FOR serious discussion, Wayne. No need to apologize!
I was just discussing your exact example with a friend yesterday. It's a tough one. I don't like it, and it was used in a hostile context. The problem as I see it is that there needs to be some leniency if this place is to continue to host interesting discussions. However, there seems to be a trend of decreasing civility around here. We need to find a better balance.
It should also be kept in mind that this site has moderators, not purifiers. I wouldn't want to be a purifier (and I would be an ironic choice for that role).
