So what's your point?

If you don't think there's anything wrong with it, why would you care if someone else says "hey change this".

Do the same thing you'd do if someone says "hey you should use mongodb it's web scale": tell them you disagree and won't be doing that.

If you don't think there's anything wrong with it, how can you be "shamed" into doing something you disagree with?

I am doing exactly as you say.

I made a comment saying I disagree with the word police and I think it's dumb to cast people as being insensitive for using a longstanding word that makes sense to many people in the context it's used in.
