Oh geez that site. No, posting something entirely on-topic is not derailing.
There's got to be a dividing line is what I'm saying. There's practical usage to be considered, and I don't think we should bend over backwards for everyone who's offended by outdated meanings. There's plenty of words in current usage to be rightly offended by. Why should we dredge up ancient linguistics that no one in everyday life would associate with offense?
