@ijbailey @dstipson @zach_brownies People tend to get frustrated when every time they try to contest a kind of politics they disagree with someone tells them that the words they are using are slurs--they tend to feel others are trying to shut them down rather than engage them. I know that's not your intent. — PolitiTweet.org

@zach_brownies @ijbailey I think more precision is better. Some people mean what you said. Others mean sanctimonious puritanical zealotry that manifests as left authoritarianism. Other people mean political correctness. But most don't intend it as a slur so much as a descriptive pejorative — PolitiTweet.org

@VinodSreeharsha @zach_brownies @ijbailey I am not making an argument. I am describing various meanings people intend when they use a word. I don't particularly like the word myself, but it's in common use and I don't decide which words enter common use. — PolitiTweet.org
