Isn't that exactly what SouthernComfort did? He said he was offended by BC/AD, and you and the rest of the arbcomm said his offense is more important than consensus.
Not the *entire* rest, thanks ...
This is the sort of AC case that should never have been accepted, and I'm now sorry I voted 'accept' (though it already had four by the time I got there).
When people can simply say that they are offended and have all sorts of operations thus brought to a screeching halt then you know that political correctness has run amok. Some take it to the extent that being offended becomes offensive. When people use these allegedly offensive expressions offense is often the furthest thing from their minds; they are not being disrespectful of anybody. Their actions should be viewed in that light, and not in the light of someone else's self-pity.
