As I read Armedblowfish's post (from memory), he compared this situation to rape, violence, OR harassment, and his point was one about people being attacked for being attacked. It would make more sense to take that point, rather than focusing on a provocative word. (This isn't directed at Matthew, by the way, but at the other editors who complained, though I've lost track of who they were.)
