• The post you are reporting:
   
  I invariably bend over backwards to avoid using terms that could be construed as offensive. I choose to do this as part of my own moral code, not because I am being lectured at by 'bien pensants'.
  
  I bet that applies to plenty of others too.
  
  What does make me angry is being preached at by those out to take the moral high ground as if they were trying to make themselves better than everyone else in the process. I believe that is really the core of this issue and one which stirs up so much resentment and anger.
  
  Some people use this issue to try to elevate themselves above others and love ticking others off for non-existent crimes of being 'offensive' even when no offence was intended. They try to make themselves look good. They are, in effect, the thought police.
