Ah, but they could be _nicer_ about it; otherwise it's as Miles said,
it's just people getting a few kicks in.  A person has a right to be
offended by that.

An observation in general: Let me point out the increasing use of these words: "bullying", "offended", "complain". These will surely poison any future discussion; the "pain threshold" of community members will be strongly depressed by this kind of negative mantra. Try to apply all your psychology common sense.

So in future if someone was trying to express an opinion, it would be pretty easy to attract these words or thoughts:

"bullying", "offended", "complain"

And kaboom. Hair trigger. Note that for many people, English is not the second language, so the probability of a blowup has just been increased. IMHO, it's not possible to impose or police a Disneyland kind of atmosphere. It follows that someone who wants a benign environment would in fact be easier to trigger.
