I was only quoting http://lyrics.wikia.com/Prince:Partyman
Quoting one word, and expecting other people to know a) that it is a quotation
and b) from which, out of millions of documents, songs, poetry and novels
containing the word, a quotation is taken, is pushing it a little far.
Particularly when, in the context in which it is used, it is an offensive
and/or provocative word.

Or you are way touchy on something that is mute and I honestly think
there was no offense meant in saying that. Also Gentlemen in that
context, quoted or not is not offensive even if leaving out ladies, its
only the interpretation you take of it. Now if he said I only want guys
to respond or don't let any crazy women write then sure your rant would
have merit but come on get over it. Or maybe get Debian to post rules on
how to properly greet so not to offend anyone overly touchy in the miss
use of words, which generally happens more commonly with people who have
English as a second language and actually pretty common on here. Or
should we start holding your responses to the highest regard and
anything miss presented or not properly worded in the utmost perfect
context we should all be offended. Stop being so touchy save it for when
someone actually does something offensive or just be catty but no need
to spread it on here for us to have to read.
