Not at all my friend, but there are bigger fish out there for these guys to be looking at. A word is just a word.There are tons of offensive words that exist in the englsih language, and we hear them everyday. Should we ban them all ? When something like this happens, it just points the spotlite at the word and associated people and cause way more harm than good.
I have 22 yrs of sobriety behind me, but i still call myself a DRUNK. Not all DRUNKS give a hoot about being called a DRUNK, but some take offense to it (usually those in denial). so lets ban the word DRUNK from the language. I,d rather be called a DRUNK, than a BUM, but thats just me
