@kevinh8swriting @and_furiouser @LittleMammith @JaymeNiezgoda68 Actually, it started with me saying colleges should be explicit about the rules, and you saying (wrongheadedly, in my view) that the use-mention distinction is overblown. (No one exposed to a "use" feels that way.) — PolitiTweet.org

@kevinh8swriting @and_furiouser @LittleMammith @JaymeNiezgoda68 I did not say no one should be offended by any mention ever, though I do think being offended is highly overrated and if you're capable of never being offended it serves you well. I'd definitely look askance at some conceivable mentions, which would still be different than uses — PolitiTweet.org
