Yeah, you can't even refer to someone by a slur an not have them make it a big deal. People are just too sensitive, it's just words. /s

The irony is not lost to me that the "it's just words" crowd is also sensitive to "just words".

That's not even the context we're talking about here. We're talking about professional argument. Disagreement over decisions. Hurling slurs at people isn't even in the orbit of that.

I'm talking about people being thin-skinned, petty and passive-aggressive about other people disagreeing with their ideas, which is something I see _constantly_ in this field.
