It's just too hard to communicate on the internet, especially with people who don't share your conversational goals. I think I just found a new year's resolution.
"submit a deliberately provocative posting to an online message board with the aim of inciting an angry response."
Message board? Check! Deliberately provocative? Check! Angry responses? Check! Must be trolling.
My original point was that the absolute application of principles designed to bring about equality could be harmful and that we need to apply contextual understanding to language. If the expression of that idea makes you angry, that's fine, but it's not trolling.
Anyway, I'm bowing out of this thread as it doesn't look like pursuing this idea is constructive.
