No need to assume.
The irony of calling someone a fascist for using the wrong word.
Other people have had a similar complaint, that this one person resorted to name calling immediately doesn't offer proof to me they were not sincere or that this issue isn't something some people legitimately care about.

Why not assume good faith on the part of the people who used the terms "master" and "slave"?
The person mentioned in the post obviously didn't assume that after they started name calling but I think you could assume good faith usage of those words and still have a problem with it.

One should also understand that not all countries have the same political activists and race-baiters that the US has and therefore the words master and slave don't carry the same baggage as they do in the US.
Master/slave doesn't carry baggage because of political activists and race-baiters but because of the US' history of slavery/racism.

People who are arguing in good faith don't start calling their opponents vile names after one exchange.
Why not assume good faith? Surely you can make an argument against changing technical terms without assuming the person bringing up the changes is just trolling.
